'The Troubles of Janice' was serialized in Bédé Adult and first published in book format by International Presse Magazine in 1987 as 'Malheurs de Janice'. Apart from extensive sex scenes the work makes an effort to bring the time period to life in its lavishly illustrated artwork. Loosely based on De Sade's 'La Philosophie dans le Boudoir' ('Philosophy in the Bedroom', 1795), the tale follows duke viscount Vauxhall of Nether Wallop and his female sex slave Janice. He gained fame with 'The Troubles of Janice' (1987-1996), a sado-masochistic comic set in the late 18th century, during the heydays of the notorious Marquis de Sade. Von Götha drew the Rasputin section after the original artist Georges Lévis died. The latter was the tale of a perverted man who tells his lover about the lives of Charles Manson and Rasputin. His first books were the sci-fi story 'Conte à rebours' (1987) and the album 'Crimes et délits' (1988), both published by YES Company in France. His works were from then on regularly serialized in Bédé Adult and Bédé X, and published in book format by International Presse Magazine (IPM) in France. Several first saw print in France and Germany before they eventually appeared in an English edition.

Of a more historical but not less explicit nature was 'The Roman Life of Laura'. Recurring characters are the Sylvia Kristel look-alike Roz and swingers couple Jo and David Tracy, who endulge in orgy stories collected under the title 'Come Together'.
