Shangman

Shangman (尚漫) is a Chinese comics magazine and original comics brand published in mainland China. It is sponsored by the People's Posts and Telecommunications Press (人民邮电出版社) and published by Posts and Telecommunications Publishing Co., Ltd. (邮电出版有限责任公司). The magazine began as a trial issue in October 2010 and was formally launched in January 2011, with that launch corresponding to the fourth issue overall. Its serialized content focuses primarily on long-form original boys' comics (少年漫画). Beyond the print magazine, the Shangman brand also encompasses a reader-submission original comics website and a comics book publishing business. This makes Shangman not merely a periodical title but a small comics brand ecosystem combining traditional magazine serialization, online creator submissions, and book-length publication. The official website is hosted at ishangman.com. As a publication under the People's Posts and Telecommunications Press, Shangman operates within China's state-affiliated publishing system, which shapes its editorial positioning toward domestic original comics rather than licensed foreign works. Its emphasis on original long-form serialization and reader contributions reflects the broader push within China's comics industry during the 2010s to cultivate local creators and intellectual property. The brand's activities — magazine serialization, web-based submissions, and book publishing — position it as a multi-channel comics label rather than a single-title magazine. Its Chinese-language operations are aimed at mainland readers, and its catalog centers on serialized original comics that can later be collected and republished as books.

Shangman (尚漫) is a Chinese comics magazine and original comics brand published in mainland China. It is sponsored by the People's Posts and Telecommunications Press (人民邮电出版社) and published by Posts and Telecommunications Publishing Co., Ltd. (邮电出版有限责任公司). The magazine's development began with a trial issue in October 2010. It was formally launched in January 2011, and that formal launch corresponded to the fourth issue overall (总第4期), indicating that the trial phase produced several issues before the official establishment of the title. Editorially, Shangman's serialized comics consist mainly of long-form original boys' comics (长篇原创少年漫画). This focus on original, long-form serialization distinguishes it from magazines centered on short strips or licensed foreign content. Under the same Shangman brand, the operation also includes a reader-submission original comics website and a comics book publishing business. This means the brand functions as a multi-channel comics label: print magazine serialization, an online platform for reader-submitted original comics, and book publication. The official website is ishangman.com. As a publication under the People's Posts and Telecommunications Press, Shangman sits within China's state-affiliated publishing system. Its activities are aimed at the mainland Chinese market and Chinese-language readers.
