Titan Comics is set to release a four-issue series based on Netflix’s upcoming live-action adaptation of the iconic Cowboy Bebop. Ahead of its release later this year, the company has shared all six covers for the first issue of the series.

The upcoming miniseries of comics will be written by Dan Watters with art by Lamar Mathurin, with the first issue releasing on December 8, 2021. Set in the year 2171, the comic series will tell the story of the bounty hunter crew of the spaceship Bebop chase down an ex-gang member who has a vest that gives the wearer unlimited luck. The six covers all sport different art styles, with the following artists contributing to each cover:

Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop series is created by Andre Mac and Jeff Pinkner from a script written by Christopher Yost (Thor: Ragnarok) and Javier Grillo-Marxuach. It will star John Cho as Spike Spiegel, Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black, Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine, Alex Hassell as Vicious, and Elena Satine as Julia.

Cowboy Bebop is a co-production between Netflix and Tomorrow Studios, with Michael Katleman and Alex Garcia Lopez directing all 10 episodes which wrapped its production in New Zealand last May. The live-action series will also include original anime composer Yoko Kanno, who is returning to create the soundtrack.

The anime ran for just 26 episodes and one special in the late 1990s and later had a feature film, Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, released in 2001 and set during the series instead of serving as a follow-up.
