The Golden Troupe
I don't remember everything from 2,500 years ago. But I remember being with them them… Aspa- a mare with anger issues and no interest in your opinion about her. Morgh- an eagle whose mind never stops. Rioxia- a cheetah who loves everyone, including people who haven't earned it yet. And Qui- a saluki who is over it, officially. This is their story. It's a creature comic. It's hand-drawn. It's messy. And if you've ever felt invisible, unremarkable or like the world wasn't built with you in mind… I made it for you.
Heyas! I'm Char.
I’m a creature and comic artist hellbent on telling a story about a past life of mine... and including as many animals as I can along the way!
My story matters, but so does yours. You know how important our connection to animals is because you have at least one furry, scaley or feathery creature within arm's length of you right now! I wanna take it a step even further and personalise the journey by inviting you along!
We hoped you'd join us, so we saved you a spot by the cheetah!
Are you the type of person who sees a horse snarling at you and thinks, " Oh bubby, what's the matter???" Good. You'll make a great addition to the Troupe!

The Golden Troupe: A Comic for the Ones Who Learned to Bite Back
Not everyone gets a seat at the table. Some of us had to build our own campfire. The Golden Troupe is a creature comic about misfits, monsters and the ones who became both. It's for anyone who ever felt too much, too loud, too weird... and mayyybe decided to make that everyone else's problem (just the once anyway).
Inside the book: Hand-drawn pages, creature chaos and characters who are doing their best with the teeth they were given. Aspa's got anger issues. Morgh told Aspa, "It's on sight." Rioxia loves everyone. Qui is over all of them. They're not heroes. They're a Troupe.
If you've ever felt invisible, unloveable or like you were built wrong for the world you were handed... The tent flap is open. We've been waiting for you.
