Veteran Italian Artist Will See Three Of His Classics Released Uncensored

♦Humanoids announces the upcoming release of three graphic novels from Italian comics legend Milo Manara (The Sandman: Endless Nights). The first two classic tales will be published in English for the first time uncensored and in their original large formats. The graphic novel publisher is also revealing pages of the third title that will be available in colour for the first time ever.

Releasing in July, Milo Manara’s Gullivera is the loosely inspired adventures of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, sensually revisited by an undisputed master of erotic comics. In August comes the uncensored and erotic graphic novel adaptation of one of classic Roman literature’s most legendary stories The Golden Ass of Apuleius, titled Milo Manara’s The Golden Ass.

Pandora’s Eyes, written by Academy Award-nominated Vincenzo Cerami (Life is Beautiful) and brought to life by the art of Harvey and Eisner Award-winner Milo Manara, will be available for the first time in color by Francesco Gaston (artist of Image’s Bloodstrike) in November.

Tim Pilcher, author of Erotic Comics: A Graphic History said, “Manara is undoubtedly the king of not just erotic comics, but is also one of the all-time great legends of international sequential art, having worked with luminaries such as Hugo Pratt and Federico Fellini, and influencing creators across the globe. These three titles reveal his incredible talent as both as a writer and artist. They are important and vital works that are guaranteed to excite new and old fans alike.”

Humanoids released its first graphic novels 40 years ago in Paris and has published thousands of titles since, including international bestsellers and iconic series such as The Incal and Barbarella. Based in Hollywood, California with branches in Paris, London and Tokyo, Humanoids is currently developing multiple film adaptations of its books, including Bouncer, Metal, I Am Legion and The Z Word (aka The Zombies That Ate The World).
