== 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.Boys Adventures Comics: Jonny Quest - the real adventures by Richard Sheaf. September 3, 2021. Referenced quote: "I note that in issue #82 (June 1997) of Comics International lists issue #9 in the 'Advance listings' section but in issue #83 Jonny Quest is listed as cancelled. I'm therefore assuming it runs until issue 9." Retrieved September 10, 2021.
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.https://metabook.gr/books/tzoni-koyest-1-periplanisi-sta-karpathia-164227 The first two issues were released in 1997, and later re-released together as a volume in September 1997.GreekComics.gr: ΤΖΟΝΝΥ ΚΟΥΕΣΤ (forum) 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.Σελίδες Νοσταλγίας (Pages of Nostalgia) Ελληνικά περιοδικά 9: Τζόννυ Κουέστ (1997) (Greek Magazines 9: Jonny Quest (1997)).
