Sternenschiff

In this two-issue Dutch science-fiction series from Arboris, Dick Matena both writes and illustrates a mysterious journey aboard a starship whose crew navigates an uncertain fate. Published in the late 1980s, Sternenschiff showcases Matena’s distinctive, atmospheric storytelling and starkly detailed artwork, offering a compact but memorable glimpse into European comics’ exploration of cosmic isolation. While brief, the series stands as a notable example of Matena’s singular vision as a creator working across all facets of the comic.
