The Trigan Empire BOOK / Comic / Vintage / 1978 -A fantastic space world of adventure and conflict -A collected Edition: The Trigan Empire (192 pages, Hamlyn, October 1978, ISBN 0-600-38788-7) --------------------------------------- The series initially ran from 1965 to 1982, dealing with the long-past events of an empire on the distant planet of Elekton. Heavily influenced by mythological tales, a number of the societies seemed to be based on ancient cultures that had existed in history. Chief among these was the Trigan Empire, apparently modelled on Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. This similarity even extended to Trigan City, the capital being built on five hills, in a similar fashion to the seven hills of Rome. The Trigans' clothing was similar to that of the Romans, with many of the populace dressed in toga-like garments, or in the case of the soldiery, in Greek or Roman-style armour. A similar likeness could be drawn with Hericon, the chief rival in power to the Trigans, whose appearance seemed to mirror that of elements of the Byzantine Empire, and the Persian Empire. ------------------------------------ -1" thick spine -Stitching is intact -Front and back covers are intact -The graphics are amazing. -Thick matte pages 9 1/4 x 11 3/4 x 1 inches Hard cover
