L'âne d'or

Milo Manara adapts Apuleius’s second-century novel The Golden Ass for Les Humanoïdes Associés, a lush, erotic graphic novel that launched in 2011. Manara’s signature, sensuous linework brings this ancient tale of a man transformed into a donkey and his picaresque journey through Roman society to vivid life. As a singular, ongoing issue from a celebrated European master, it stands as a distinctive, mature homage to classical literature in comics form.
