HEY!

Big Golden Age comic fan.  I usually live in the USA (California) but currently working in Macau & Hong Kong.  I spent most of last year working in Singapore.  Should be back home in April back into the waiting arms of my comics!

What is the comics scene in Macau & Hong Kong at the moment, if any? Any imported comics that come in?

Welcome Andrew. After I retire I may do some teaching in China or Hong Kong but my wife is hoping for Europe or Costa Rica

There is a pretty big comic scene in Hong Kong. Do you remember Jademan comics from the late 80s/early 90s? There was Oriental Heroes, Blood Sword, and a bunch of other ones. They were English versions of popular Hong Kong comics, most of which are still being published regularly in Chinese to this very day.

A lot of Chinese comic books have been made into movies too. Black Mask, A Man Called Hero, Young & Dangerous, Storm Riders, and Dragon Tiger Gate were all based on popular Hong Kong comics.
