I don't know why but it does. Look at World of Warcraft, It did HUGE numbers in China...partly due to a monopoly...but still, it was absolutely huge and the sequel is still uncertain because it did so badly in the US and other markets.
I'm a little disappointed that the ship was that far down on the page because the ship is one of the first references to Valerian I usually see mentioned and was one of the main problems in people thinking Valerian ripped off Star Wars when Star Wars ripped off Valerian first.
But unfortunately, this is me as a Star Wars and film geek having that knowledge and most people in this country are ignorant...which I totally blame on not properly marketing the source material; availability, translation, new adaptation, etc.
I have been able to think of a few Science Fiction comics from US or Canadian creators...

and there's ODY-C but it's based off the Odyssey so I'm not sure it counts even if it's a reimagining but damn, is it so pretty...
