Dirk Schulz (* February 20, 1965 in Minden) is a German cartoonist, comic illustrator and publisher. Dirk Schulz studied visual communication and graduated as a designer in 1992. He became known for the comic SF series Indigo, which he developed together with author Robert Feldhoff starting in 1988. From 1990, he regularly created one-pagers for car magazines. In 1996, Schulz launched the satirical fantasy series Chiq & Chloe together with Robert Feldhoff. In 2002, he began collaborating with Jean Wacquet on the series Celtis as well as with Delia Wüllner, whom he had already met in 1994, on the fantasy series Parasites. In the same year, he received his first commissions to design covers for the Perry Rhodan series, for which he has worked regularly ever since. In 2006, he designed a manga-inspired online project called Fame4U for the publisher Tokyopop. In the same year, he created the comic Kiko for Spiegel Online, for which Bernd Kronsbein wrote the scenario and Horst Gotta created the drawings together with Schulz. He drew the covers for the new edition of the Mythor series in paperback published by FanPro. In 2006, Schulz re-founded the publishing house Splitter together with Delia Wüllner-Schulz and Horst Gotta. The last publisher of this name, for which Schulz had also worked, went bankrupt in 2000. Until then, Schulz had drawn his comics part-time and was the full-time creative director of an advertising agency he co-founded. With Splitter Verlag, he now became active as a publisher.
