Titan Comics is publishing My Father’s Dragon, a breathtaking graphic novel adaptation of the Netflix animated feature, arriving on shelves in September 2026.

Titan Comics has picked up a very exciting graphic novel adaptation of My Father’s Dragon, based on the Netflix animated feature and inspired by Ruth Stiles Gannett’s beloved, Newbery-honoured children’s novel. The story chronicles the magical adventure of Elmer and his quest to rescue a stranded young dragon

The adaptation, published under the Titan Nova (YA) imprint, draws directly from the critically acclaimed film and features stunning artwork developed by the celebrated animation studio Cartoon Saloon, alongside Academy Award-nominated director Nora Twomey. My Father’s Dragon, streaming on Netflix, stars Jacob Tremblay, Gaten Matarazzo, Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, and Whoopi Goldberg.

The story follows Elmer as he struggles to adjust after a sudden move to the city with his mother. He runs away in search of the mysterious Wild Island – and a dragon in desperate need of rescue. His journey introduces him to ferocious beasts, a strange and wondrous land, and the beginnings of an unforgettable friendship.

“Working with very talented creatives such as art director Áine McGuinness (Late Afternoon, Éiru), production designer Rosa Ballester Cabo (Song of the Sea, The Breadwinner) and screenwriter Meg LeFauve (Inside Out, Inside Out 2), on My Father’s Dragon film was an incredible experience,” said Nora Twomey, the film director. “Seeing the story take on a new life with an adaptation by the brilliant Samuel Sattin (Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea, and The Secret of Kells graphic novels) is truly amazing, and to have the graphic novel adapted by the legendary Titan Comics is very exciting for everyone who worked on the film.”
