Titan Comics and Harmony Gold are excited to announce the hotly anticipated new ongoing Robotech comic series will debut at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, featuring a special convention special cover by British Award-winning artist Rachael Stott!

Produced by Harmony Gold USA in 1985, Robotech was the gateway to anime for many US fans – its epic 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. Against a backdrop that involved war, and romance, the powerful characterization and stunning action of the Veritech fighters that defend the Earth captured audiences and the series quickly became a cult smash.

Robotech #1 casts a fresh eye over classic characters like Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes, Lynn Minmei, Roy Fokker, Claudia Grant, and Henry Gloval. Writer Brian Wood, artist Marco Turini, and colorist Marco Lesko have crafted a thrilling new tale that’s perfectly accessible to new fans, as well as providing a deeper layer of twists for old-school protoculture addicts!

Titan will present a special convention edition of Robotech which includes the entirety of Issue #1 and a brand-new cover from comic book superstar Rachael Stott.
