Titan UK release[]

Titan Magazines, a division of Titan Publishing Group, re-released The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest comic book series in the UK. Six issues were definitely released, and up to nine were advertised. It was cancelled mid-1997.[1]

Titan's issues were not a direct re-release of the Dark Horse versions, and they released the stories in different order. For instance, the Dark Horse issues #1-4 included the story "Net of Chaos" in four chapters, while the Titan issues #3-6 include the chapters of this story. The story "Hell on Earth: The Movie" was in Dark Horse issue #7, but Titan issue #3 includes this story instead.

Titan's releases also included original content that was not in the Dark Horse releases.

Modern Times Greek release[]

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest comic book series was released in Greek as "Τζονι Κουεστ" (Jonny Quest) by Modern Times.[4] The first two issues were released in 1997, and later re-released together as a volume in September 1997.[5] A third issue was advertised but was presumably never released.

According to one reviewer, the Greek version fell victim to the publishing policy of Modern Times at the time, by clogging the small Greek market with dozens of simultaneous titles. This inevitably led to low sales and cutting of some titles, which included the Jonny Quest comics.[6]
