Here is one of the White Custom Label Valiant Comics currently for sale on eBay. These labels have been recently placed as the comics were printed in the middle of 2021. The Valiant custom label is officially retired ...

Thank you magnus20009 , that was some really great insights you have on the topic. I totally agree with you that, in China and Hong Kong, US comics culture were hugely overshadowed by Japanese manga, local kids don't collect comics or manga, they just read manga over and over. Most comics and manga ...

I really don't understand all the fuss the past couple years about these Hong Kong books. I spent more than a decade living in Hong Kong and no one there cared about these and none of the local comic book shops in Hong Kong would have sold them initially or kept them in their back issue bins. I ...

Thank you both nycjadie and aj583, it's not a full set but still hard to come by. Hope they'll go to someone here on the forum.

aj583, I love how you call it "the Hong Kong Six", great name for a club, might steal it

Fellow Valiant collectors, I am selling my raw Valiant Hong Kong Chinese Edition books:

Bloodshot
Shadowman
Dr.Mirage
Solar

There were only 4 books when I sourced these from China, so not a full set of 6 books.

Conditions are around mid grade but still presents relatively well. Detailed ...

@20:50

Shouldn't the label of the Solar slab be the other way round?

Solar, Man of the Atom #1
American 10/94
Solar, Man of the Atom #3 cover

I'd totally buy copies for only 55 cents. @27:35 :lol:


You are right, the label could just say "Solar, Man of the Atom #1 Chinese Edition". But I ...

Hello everyone. More than a year ago I shared my rediscovered 1994 Valiant Hong Kong book set on the forum: (http://www.valiantfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=51955&start=50).

I then decided to encapsulate them last year and now I have all 6 of them back from CGC. Thinking it would be great to ...

Big Congrats aj583 :clap: Excellent summary of why they fetched the final price but still, I was quite surprised when I saw the sold price. :o

I'm also lucky enough to have these (one set as the original owner and I found some extra from China last year as well). Now I am considering putting my ...

This has to be the most ever paid for some HK comic books. Doubt you'd have gotten 1% of that price locally. I spent almost 15 years living in HK and never bothered to look for these. There is not much of a collectors market for foreign reprint comics there so I doubt many of these books have ...

How many Valiant comics were translated to HK/Chinese?


For the HK Chinese edition (not DMG), totally 6 issues were published in 1994. I have done some research but it is very hard to dig up the history from Asia before internet is popular. I have shared everything I know about these books on my ...

This has been a cool thread. The last time I was here in Okinawa, I saw a common Bloodshot at a thrift store. Now I will have to start looking for the HK versions.


Wish you the best of luck! :thumb: Show it here when you found something. The image attached is from my PC :D

Nice pictures aj583 . Yours are in great conditions too. I guess if they come with the box, should be pretty well protected.

May I ask how you've acquired them? Do you know more history about these books and their publishing company Americom?

When the DMG Bloodshot and Harbinger books started ...

Pretty weird.

Does anyone have a complete list? Is there a HK version of Magnus #1 and Turok #1 as well?

It looks like the backside of XO #1 says something about Turok.


I am afraid, from what I know, this is the complete list, only 6 books are published by Americom in 1994, and nothing ...

I agree, the box says they are 18+, so make sense they are not censored in any way.

Wow!!!! The sickness factor is just off the charts.. so there are two sets now.. dr.mirage cover looks so much better as foil..


There's one dr.mirage available if you are interested:

They also have shadowman and Ninjak, but in pretty poor ...

Pretty sure they cropped out some of that guy's brains in that page. Makes me wonder what else got censored. It would be interesting to do a side by side comparison of those books.


Maybe this is what you remembered? Same scene, different artwork from the ...

Interestingly, as valiantdude noticed, the Solar HK book has the cover of #3, but the actual book content is #1, am I correct here?


This is correct. It's Solar 1.

The Bloodshot and Shadowman covers are not the original #1 cover; they're both from the #0 issues.


Thanks, I checked again ...

Thanks a lot guys, glad you all like these books :clap:. Sorry no fancy backstory. I got them on a trip to China back in 1994 when I was 14 from a local newsstand in Shanghai. I can't read much Chinese, so I totally forgot about them until my parents called me to clean out my room during Christmas ...

Is this what you are referring to as Bloodshot Hong Kong, China edition, not DMG?
