    About

    Titan Publishing Group operates as the literary division of Titan Entertainment, a British media company established in 1981. Originally launched by Chris Black and Ian Shaw with a focus on film and television tie-ins, the firm has expanded into a major independent publisher covering science fiction, fantasy, horror, and graphic literature. The organization maintains its headquarters in London's Bankside district, situated near the Tate Modern gallery.

    Distinct imprints allow the company to target specific demographics while maintaining a cohesive brand identity. Titan Comics produces serialized content based on franchises like Doctor Who, Star Trek, and Alien, while Titan Books handles novelizations and non-fiction guides. Titan Manga and Titan Magazines further round out their catalog, serving dedicated fanbases with specialized releases.

    Recent strategic moves demonstrate the company's continued growth despite remaining privately held. In 2023, an agreement deepened ties with Alcon's publishing unit to create original fiction across various genres. By 2025, Titan Comics joined the Neon Ichiban digital platform, and Crunchyroll Manga added 26 titles from the publisher's library. Looking toward 2027, Titan announced plans to relaunch the entire Edgar Rice Burroughs universe, beginning with a new Dejah Thoris series.
