About the series
In The Golden Ass (2022–present, Humanoids), the classic second-century Roman novel by Apuleius gets a modern graphic novel adaptation, blending satire, magic, and transformation into a single issue. This debut comic brings the ancient tale of a man turned into a donkey to a new audience, with lush, detailed artwork that captures the story's bawdy humor and fantastical journey. While the series is early in its run, it stands as a fresh, literary-minded entry from Humanoids, known for sophisticated European comics, and offers a compelling entry point for readers curious about one of antiquity's most enduring narratives.
