Erich VON GOTHA is the pseudonym of the British artist Robin Ray, known for his erotic illustrations and cartoons focusing on sadomasochistic subcultures. Born on November 8, 1924 in Wimbledon, United Kingdom, Ray began publishing his illustrations under von Götha while working as an advertising executive after the end of World War II. He rose to prominence for his erotic drawings created for the publication Torrid and The Troubles of Janice in the 1980s, and his art was later featured in the British Library’s exhibition “Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the UK” in 2014
