Legendary French-American comics and graphic novel publisher Humanoids turns 50 this year. Part of its celebrations includes the first ever English translation of Arkadi and the Lost Titan - a sci-fi epic by Philippe "Caza" Cazamayou, best known for his work in the pages of Heavy Metal and Métal Hurlant, which has drawn apt comparisons to the comics of Mœbius and Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Arkadi and the Lost Titan is big – it spans more than 500 pages and took its creator some 20 years to complete. Set on a desolate future Earth that has stopped turning, the remaining humans battle for survival. Young hero Arkadi takes part in a deadly "Trial of Purification," and then must embark on a dangerous journey in search of a missing Titan cyborg that will be necessary for the planet's survival.
