LEGENDARY SAGA RETURNS IN HIGHLANDER: THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY GRAPHIC NOVEL

ORIGINAL VISION FROM WRITER GREGORY WIDEN BROUGHT TO LIFE IN LAVISH NEW ADAPTATION

Titan Comics is proud to announce the release of Highlander: The Original Screenplay, a striking new graphic novel adaptation based on the original script by writer Gregory Widen, arriving in bookstores and comic shops on November 17, 2026.

This lavishly illustrated volume (art by Szymon Kudranski) presents the immortal saga of Connor MacLeod as it was first imagined – long before it became a cult-defining cinematic classic. Spanning centuries of history, epic duels, and shadowed rivalries, Highlander: The Original Screenplay follows Connor’s journey across eras as he faces other immortals in a deadly contest for a mysterious and ultimate prize.

Returning to the story’s roots, the graphic novel offers fans a rare chance to experience Widen’s original narrative vision in full, capturing the mythic scale, tragic romance, and operatic violence that made Highlander a cultural touchstone.

“I have been a fan of Highlander since what feels like the dawn of time, so it’s a genuine thrill to bring this story back as originally envisaged by the man who created it all, Gregory Widen,” said Jonathan Wilkins, the editor of Highlander: The Original Screenplay. “For the first time, readers will be able to experience this epic adventure set across the centuries. It’s been a genuine thrill to work with Gregory to discover the various avenues his story explored before filming began. So get ready to visit the blood-stained highlands of the mid-1500s and the seamy streets of New York of the early 1980s for a spectacular take on an immortal tale!”

With dynamic artwork from Szymon Kudranski and a cinematic sense of scope, Highlander: The Original Screenplay stands as both a celebration of the franchise’s origins and a thrilling new entry point for readers discovering the immortal legend for the first time.

Highlander: The Original Screenplay is on sale November 17, 2026! Pre-order it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Forbidden Planet for the UK & Europe.
