Titan Publishing will launch a comprehensive initiative celebrating the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, starting with a new Dejah Thoris comic series in Summer 2027.

The press release follows:

Media Release – As announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 during the Tarzan® and John Carter of Mars® Live! panel on Friday, July 24, 2026 - Titan Publishing is thrilled to reveal a major new publishing initiative celebrating the legendary works of Edgar Rice Burroughs. The program is set to launch in Summer 2027 with a brand-new Dejah Thoris® comic series.

Developed in collaboration with Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., this ambitious publishing program is designed to introduce both lifelong fans and new readers to the extraordinary worlds of one of history’s most influential adventure storytellers. Spanning a wide range of publishing formats, the initiative celebrates Edgar Rice Burroughs’ enduring legacy while bringing his timeless stories to a new generation of readers.

Titan’s new publishing program will include new paperback editions of the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library, previously unfinished works, illustrated books, original comics, and omnibus collections, offering fresh ways to experience Burroughs’ iconic creations. The program will be available through bookstores, comic shops, and digital retailers worldwide.

The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world’s most influential authors. Mr. Burroughs’ timeless tales of heroes and heroines transport readers from the jungles of Africa and the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom to the miles-high forests of Amtor and the savage inner world of Pellucidar, and even to alien civilizations Beyond The Farthest Star. Mr. Burroughs’ books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.

“We’ve enjoyed a successful relationship with Titan across a variety of publications over the years, but this is our most ambitious collaboration yet - a comprehensive publishing program with a vision that extends well into the future,” said Jim Sullos, the President of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. “We couldn’t be more pleased to strengthen this partnership and embark on this exciting new journey together.”

“This publishing program represents one of the most ambitious celebrations of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ work in decades,” said Titan Entertainment’s Chief Operating Officer, Andrew Sumner, at the San Diego Comic-Con panel. “Our goal is to honor the author’s extraordinary legacy while introducing his unforgettable stories to a new generation of readers.”

Further details will be revealed throughout 2026 and leading up to the launch in Summer 2027.
