Cowboy Bebop is one of the best anime ever made period, and Netflix is doing a live-action adaptation to boot. So is it any wonder that Titan Comics is doing a comic book adaptation of it?

Titan Comics is formally announcing their comic book adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, starting by teasing us with these covers of the first issue. To be precise, this comic book is an adaptation of the upcoming live-action adaptation from Netflix. It’s not a comic book adaptation of the original anime by Hajime Yatate, aka. Sunrise. Besides, that already has a manga adaptation from Yutaka Nanten.

This Cowboy Bebop comic book series from Titan Comics will feature Dan Watters as the writer, with Lamar Mathurin as the artist. The publisher is, of course, Titan Comics. Cowboy Bebop #1 will launch on December 8, 2021. You can preorder the comic book from your local comic book shop. If you live in the UK or Europe though, you can preorder it from Forbidden Planet.
