February 28, 1983, the day when Light and Shadow Weekly Animation Magazine decided to officially launch it, was a very important day for the magazine industry.

The monthly magazine of the Light and Shadow Publishing House has created a miracle, no one would have thought that a comic magazine could sell 350,000 copies in Xiangjiang such a terrifying sales, after all, the region determines the sales, and a city with a population of only a few million can sell more than 300,000 copies, which can only be described as a miracle.

The second issue of the light and shadow monthly comic magazine is also about 350,000, which is a slight increase compared to the first issue, basically most readers have become loyal comic fans of "Chess Soul", so there will only be more readers in the future, not less, and steady rise is the most terrifying.

As for why it was decided to release the weekly magazine on this day, the reason is that Light and Shadow Publishing House has bought the adaptation rights of Jin Yong's martial arts novel, and will launch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" together with TVB, and at the same time, in addition to serializing "Chess Soul" in the monthly magazine, Light and Shadow will also serialize a long-form comic of bloody battles in the weekly magazine, with the background of Greek mythology as the background, telling the story of the warrior of the guardian goddess Athena, called "Saint Seiya".

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone knows that the pen name of Light and Shadow is the pen name of the founder of Light and Shadow Publishing House, and now it will once again open a long and bloody comic comic, which makes countless comic fans feel excited. After all, although "Chess Soul" has to be good-looking, I always feel that there is a little bit of something missing, if "Chess Soul" needs to be calmed down, then occasionally it also needs passionate passion.

This is also the reason why Xiangjiang is now full of comics of all kinds of bloody battles, and when I hear it, it is based on Greek mythology and combined with the constellations in the sky, just listening to the name makes people feel excited, what kind of comic is "Saint Seiya", everyone is looking forward to it.

The success of Light and Shadow Monthly has made many people feel that there is nothing to replicate, and now Light and Shadow Weekly is returning to the bloody battles of Xiangjiang Comics in the past, and there are also comics adapted from Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which also makes some martial arts fans look forward to it very much.

After the third issue of "Light and Shadow Monthly" was released, everyone found that the number of pages of "Chess Soul" was significantly less, and there was a new comic "Dragon Babu" on it The refreshing and neat painting style on it, as well as the perfect combination of Xiangjiang comics and Japanese comics style, made the characters look no worse than the painting style of "Chess Soul", coupled with the familiar stories and characters, it was immediately welcomed by many people.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, there is always a lack of character expression in the novel, but comics are different, as Han Ziguang said, it is definitely to express that the characters in the novel are not more in line with the comics, and as he thought, once launched, it caused a great sensation in Xiangjiang.

After all, many people in Xiangjiang grew up watching Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and naturally they also have a feeling, the story of "Dragon Babu" is basically familiar to everyone, but no one thought that one day they could see Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xuzhu and Murong Fu and other characters in the comics, especially when those women who looked like fairies appeared, they also amazed many people, and the sales of "Light and Shadow Monthly" rose again, directly reaching more than 400,000.

In this way, everyone is more full of expectations for the upcoming weekly "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and at the same time, it also makes the cartoonists in Xiangjiang see a new hope, and adapting the novel is also a direction to increase sales.

However, for the prophetic Han Ziguang, they are too slow, he has already won the adaptation rights of six comics and animations from Gu Long, including "The Peerless Double Pride", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "The Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" ("Xiao Li Flying Knife"), "Xiao Shiyi Lang", "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Tianya Mingyue Knife", "The Sword of the Third Young Master", etc., and paid more than 400,000 Taiwan dollars, which is equivalent to a price of about 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The reason is that Gu Long is really short of money, when he was young, Gu Long liked to drink, but after contracting liver disease around 77 years, his health deteriorated, and he was cut again in 80 years, almost killed him, and his condition became worse. In addition, Gu Long usually spends money lavishly, and he loses his investment in movies, so he has no money to go to, and it is very difficult to even pay for the army, so he can only find a ghostwriter to earn some living expenses.

Gu Long's previous works were basically filmed badly, no one was willing to adapt, and naturally he was short of money, and at this time, Han Ziguang was willing to spend money to buy his comic and animation adaptation rights, which was simply a relief in the snow, and he was naturally very willing to solve his urgent needs.

Han Ziguang won so many popular novel adaptation rights in one go, which undoubtedly made the strength of Light and Shadow Publishing House much stronger, and at the same time, it also recruited many comic authors who have always been passionate about comics and have painters, but they can't get ahead, so that "Light and Shadow Monthly" and "Light and Shadow Weekly" can become more and more full, but the only drawback is the lack of creativity, except for Han Ziguang's own serialized comics, they all belong to the adaptation theme.

Han Ziguang is also very helpless about this, after all, talents are rare, he has already solicited manuscripts, and has also held some newcomer awards, when the time comes, let several editors-in-chief and readers vote to decide, and the comic works that win the Grand Prix will have the opportunity to be serialized. Of course, it is also held in the "Light and Shadow Monthly", and the winners are selected by their creativity and situation to be serialized in the "Light and Shadow Monthly" or "Light and Shadow Weekly".

In fact, many of Han Ziguang's practices are to imitate the Japanese comic industry, there is no way, people are too advanced, and they can completely apply their models, so as to increase the innovative spirit of some original creators.

On February 28, 1983, as scheduled, "Light and Shadow Weekly" finally began to be sold on major newsstands, and the weekly magazine was certainly thinner than the monthly magazine, so the price was also much cheaper, at three Hong Kong dollars per copy.

"Saint Seiya" has finally unraveled the mystery after the momentum of "Light and Shadow Monthly", and the character modeling is beautiful, coupled with the constellations that have recently swept the world, and the gorgeous golden holy clothes, all of which make readers exclaim.

At the beginning of the comic, it was directly shown that **, in the Athenian Sanctuary, the Pope was assassinated, and then the fake Pope was ready to kill the newborn Athena, but was rescued and escaped from the Sanctuary by the Sagittarius Gold Saint Seiya, and Aiolos died at the hands of the Capricorn Shura, who was also the Golden Saint Seiya, and the gorgeous fight, as well as the brilliant moves, the reader who watched it was addicted.

Of course, there are also a lot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and as expected, "Light and Shadow Weekly" has also won the love of many people, selling more than 200,000 copies directly on the first day, if nothing else, it can definitely break through 400,000 copies within a week, which shocked the attention of many magazine peers, and the next day because of the hit of TVB's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", once again ushered in a purchase peak.
