Humanoids: The Architects of the Avant-Garde

Humanoids is a "mind-blowing" international publisher that has defined the cutting edge of graphic storytelling since its inception in 1974. Originally founded in Paris as Les Humanoïdes Associés by visionaries like Mœbius, Philippe Druillet, and Jean-Pierre Dionnet, the company revolutionized the medium with the magazine Métal Hurlant (which became Heavy Metal in the U.S.). At White Dragon Comics, we recognize them as the "gold standard" for high-concept science fiction, surrealism, and prestige European graphic novels.

A Legacy of Visionary Storytelling

Humanoids isn't just a publisher; it’s the home of the Jodoverse, a "senses-shattering" shared universe created by Alejandro Jodorowsky. Their catalog is a "must-have" for collectors who appreciate "visual fluidity" and narratives that push the boundaries of the human imagination.

• The Incal: The bestselling European graphic novel of all time, created by Jodorowsky and Mœbius.

• The Metabarons: A "pulsating" intergalactic space opera that redefined the scale of sci-fi epics.

• Technopriests: A "mind-blowing" exploration of a high-tech dystopia.

Imprints for Every Reader

In 2026, Humanoids continues to lead the industry through specialized imprints that offer a "stupefying" range of content:

• H1: A shared superhero universe designed by top U.S. talent like Mark Waid and John Cassaday. Key titles include Ignited, Omni, and Strangelands.

• Life Drawn: A line of "weird and twisted" (and deeply human) graphic biographies and grounded literary fiction, such as Meyer and Hedy Lamarr: An Incredible Life.

• BiG: Dedicated to all-ages adventures that capture a "whimsical and thoughtful" spirit, featuring titles like Bigby Bear.
