Comic Boyz () was a Taiwanese five-member boy band consisting of Kingone Wang, Figaro Tseng, Peter Chang, Shone An, Arroy Shen, and Eddie Hsu. Although they gained media attention and appeared in various Taiwanese television dramas, Comic Boyz never achieved the same level of popularity as their forerunner, F4. The group officially disbanded in 2005 after releasing their final album, Goodbye Comic Boyz.

2001: Formation of the group

In the wake of F4's widespread acclaim, Comic Ritz Production sought to leverage the booming boy band phenomenon in Taiwan by initially selecting 11 trainees who were also trained in TV hosting. After a rigorous six-month training period, five members were eliminated, resulting in a six-member lineup: Kingone Wang, Figaro Tseng, Shone An, Arroy Shen, Peter Chang, and Eddie Hsu.

Shortly after launching their debut album in 2002, Eddie Hsu sustained multiple fractures during a dance rehearsal and decided to depart from the group to concentrate on his education. Subsequently, leadership responsibilities were assumed by Wang.

2005: Group dissolution

Following the breakup of Comic Boyz, Wang embarked on a thriving acting career and received a Golden Bell Award for Best Supporting Actor. Tseng continues to work actively as both an actor and a painter. Chang exited the entertainment industry to pursue various occupations before entering the catering business in 2013.

Shen moved into entertainment hosting but tragically passed away in 2012 due to complications from a brain injury; all former bandmates attended his funeral. An left show business around 2006 but hosted a talk show from 2009 until his death from liver cancer in 2015; Wang and Chang were present at his funeral.
