This paper examines the short-lived British comic magazine Hong Kong 97 (published by HARRIER Comics, 1996–1998) as a cultural artifact reflecting late-colonial British perspectives on the impending handover of Hong Kong to China. Through content analysis of its primary recurring series (Kowloon Kid, The Banker, Ghosts of the Peak) and editorial cartoons, the paper argues that the magazine functioned as a site of postcolonial anxiety, orientalism, and nostalgic imperialism. It contrasts British-creator portrayals with contemporaneous Hong Kong independent comics (e.g., Teddy Boy by Lee Chi-ching) to highlight divergent narratives.
