First look at art from Titan’s new ‘Robotech’ comic

Titan have today released online the first piece of art from Robotech, a brand-new series based on the legendary and groundbreaking 80s animation by Harmony Gold, which is set to debut in 2017.

First airing in the USA in 1985, Robotech captured audience’s imaginations with its epic generational storylines involving war, romance, and, of course, the transforming Veritech fighters which defend the Earth against extra-terrestrial attacks. Produced by Harmony Gold USA, the original 85-episode series delved into humanity’s struggle against a series of alien invasions, from the gigantic Zentraedi to the mysterious Invid, battling for control of advanced alien technology that crash-landed on Earth.

This brand-new cover – which was initially revealed at this weekend’s New York Comic Con – was created by celebrated Robotech artists, Jason and John Waltrip, who are favorites to Robotech fans for their work on the Robotech II: The Sentinels, Robotech Genesis: The Legend of Zor and Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles comic series.
