Der goldene Esel

Milo Manara, the legendary Italian artist, brings his unmistakable, lush visual style to this German-language adaptation of Apuleius’s ancient Roman novel The Golden Ass, scripted alongside Michael Bregel. Published by Splitter Verlag beginning in 2024, this comic translates the bawdy, fantastical tale of a man transformed into a donkey into a lavish, modern graphic narrative. It stands as a distinctive European graphic novel, pairing a classic literary source with one of comics’ most celebrated illustrators.
