Titan Entertainment Group – owned and operated by Nick Landau and Vivian Cheung – comprises four main divisions – The UK retail chain Forbidden Planet; Titan Books; Titan Comics/ Titan Magazines; and Titan Merchandise. Founded in 1978, Forbidden Planet was a small comics shop based out of Drury Lane that was formed as part of Titan Distribution – a company part owned by Nick Landau. When an opportunity arose to produce Graphic Novels of classic 2000 AD comics for the book market – as a result of Landau’s previous relationships with 2000 AD (where he was an editor in the mid 1970’s) – Titan Books was formed.
