Highlander is a cult fantasy movie from the ‘80s. It spawned several sequels and even a TV series. Now, the story is returning in the form of a striking new graphic novel based on the original script by Gregory Widen.
The Highlander: The Original Screenplay graphic novel is published by Titan Comics. The lavishly illustrated volume 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.
The upcoming graphic novel, set for release in November 2026, is edited by Jonathan Wilkins. “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 Wilkins. “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!”
