Hero Hesman (Vietnamese : Dũng sĩ Hesman) is a Vietnamese science-fiction comic series created by artist Ignatius Nguyễn Hùng Lân and was published by Hanoi Fine Arts Publishing House. After running for four years, with 159 volumes, Hùng Lân was forced to switch to another project. Up until 2019, with support from the young Vietnamese comic creators, he wrote the 160th volume as a gift to his readers. [1] [2]
Hesman originally is an adaptation of Voltron, a Japanese-American cartoon television series with first 4 volumes based on that cartoon. Hesman name is derived from "He's man" (He is a man, not a robot). The next 155 volumes of the series are Hùng Lân's own composition with many events and tens of characters were created. [3]
Most of the characters and events in the story are based on the author's childhood experiences while living in Saigon. The story is like the resonance of the Western-style sci-fi world and some details in the East Asian martial arts books.
Along the storyline, Hùng Lân added many elements of the real robot genre such as energy sources for Hesman to function or upgrades that alter Hesman's appearance substantially and his status as a cognitive robot.
If Voltron is merely a machine, Hesman grew out of this archetype and has been given a personality, which can be described as serious but occasionally displays cunning and a sense of humor. On the other hand, fantastical elements such as magic, wizards and ghosts were also recurrent.
Hesman details an adventure of an intelligent and partially autonomous robot and its human companions. Throughout the series, Hesman and the team travel the Galaxy, fight against various antagonists to defend the universe's peace .
Until the 2020s, this was still recognized as the most widely consumed comic book in Vietnam.

The government of the Nguyễn dynasty, officially the Southern dynasty and commonly referred to as the Huế Court, centred around the emperor as the absolute monarch, surrounded by various imperial agencies and ministries which stayed under the emperor's presidency. Following the signing of the Patenôtre Treaty the French took over a lot of control and while the government of the Nguyễn dynasty still nominally ruled the French protectorates of Annam and Tonkin, in reality the French maintained control over these territories and the Nguyễn government became subsidiary to the administration of French Indochina. During World War II the Japanese launched a coup d'état ousting the French and establishing the Empire of Vietnam which was ruled by the Nguyễn government. During the August Revolution the Nguyễn government was abolished in the aftermath of World War II.
