The Trigan Empire
The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire, later called simply The Trigan Empire was a science fiction comic series written mainly by Mike Butterworth and drawn, among the others, by Don Lawrence. It told the story of an alien culture that contained an educational blend of science and Earth-like ancient civilizations.
Background
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 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 flew atmosphere craft. 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 Roman-style armour.

The Empire
by: MxPxSink your teeth into me,
Bite so hard it bleeds, I need some answers more than ever, please!
We are fallen angels with no place to go we are fallen angels looking for a home
You are dead, you’re alive, but why?
You’re the empire, the rebellion, but why?
Just look at your hands, holding them tight to your chest!
Look at your hands, what have they done to the wrists?
Reach your head into me stir up bitter memories,
Steal my dreams while I’m asleep, please!
We are fallen angels with no place to go we are fallen angels looking for a home
You are dead, you’re alive, but why?
You’re the empire, the rebellion, but why?
Just look at your hands, holding them tight to your chest!
Look at your hands, what have they done to the wrists?
My head turned with a doorknob, as you walked in the room, as you walked in the room
My head turned with a doorknob, as you walked in the room, as you walked in the room
You are dead, you’re alive, but why?
You’re the empire, the rebellion, but why?
You are dead, you’re alive, but why?
