My apologies if this is the wrong place!

I have been looking for over 20 years for a short comic strip that I had read during my time in high school in the school library. It was beautifully painted, which left a deep impression on me (I was a big fan of Trigia and Storm as a child).

In the school library they had Eppo, Sjors and Sjimmie, and Tintin weekly magazine, but I can't find it in these magazines.

What I know about the comic:
- time period was late 80s, early 90s.
- it was a short story.
- It was sci-fi (I remember spaceships).
- it was painted.
- NOT by Don Lawrence, Ron Embleton, Vincente Segrelles - I'm quite familiar with their work.
- I think it was by Spanish authors, but I'm not 100% sure.
- I remember something with a rose.

It's vague, but it's been over 30 years since I read it. I hope a comic specialist in this forum might know something more.

Thank you very much in advance for the help. If this comment is inappropriate I will delete it.

Maybe try the comics forum of the drawn bar, if no one knows about it here?

Thank you for this advice! I'm not familiar with that forum. I'll try there and delete this comment.

Thank you!

Maybe this one: #106055 ? Or something from Corben? But that's a lot of searching. From that time for example #7143395 .

Why would your post be unwanted? That's what the forum is for, right? , actually a nice search.
Can you remember whether that comic strip was in a book or a magazine?
Might be a needle/pin in a haystack, but who knows...

Some of Ravian's short stories might be like:
Commandos in space.

Harry56 Unfortunately it was so long ago that I don't really remember. it was either a separate comic magazine, or a comic magazine bundle, such as a bundled Tintin weekly magazine.

rikMooren The style was more towards Don Lawrence, or Ron Embleton, who painted The Purple Light for Trigia. It was without line work, and quite precise.

Other names that come to mind that aren't: Juan Gimenez, Oscar Chichoni, Jeronaton, William Vance ( XHG-C3).

Could it be Demos the Avenger (22422)? Very picturesque, relatively unknown, highly underrated and a one-off work. I can't remember a rose though (but it's been a long time since I last read this album).

V1ct0r Not really school library magazines as far as I know, but take a look (especially considering age) at the 1984 magazine . Many similar artists, and often short stories.

Could this perhaps be Bob Morane, who also has several stories involving flying saucers and roses being stolen. These stories are from the 80s. They were in Tintin!
