American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

"Isthatabird? Isthataplane? That'sSuperman! (That's a bird? That's a plane? That's - Superman!)"

On weekend mornings, the cries of newsboys echo throughout the streets of New York.

"Give me a copy of the Courier..."

Attracted by the voices of the newsboys, the man stopped a newsboy hawking along the street, took out a two-cent coin, and bought a copy of the Courier from him.

While waiting for the transfer, the man opened the newspaper in his hand and started reading.

What was serialized in the newspaper was the latest comic content of "Superman".

The story is serialized to: Luthor was found not dead. After his evil plans were blocked by Superman many times, he decided to take revenge on Superman and realize his plan by helping corrupt economists. He used sleeping gas to bring down government offices. The man was hypnotized and wanted to plunge the country's economy into a depression, but in the end Superman stopped him.

"Why is there no such thing as Superman in reality to prevent the Great Depression?"

The plot of this comic made the man deeply emotional.

Especially when he saw Superman falling from the sky and stopping Luthor's plan to create the Great Depression, he couldn't help but sigh.

If he had a choice, he would rather live in the metropolis where Superman is than struggling in the quagmire of current reality.

At least, in Metropolis, there is a Superman who can save the Great Depression.

But in the real world, they only had an incompetent president and watched the Great Depression occur.

He gave President Hoover a series of 'cordial' greetings in his heart, and after venting his inner dissatisfaction, the man continued to flip through the newspaper in his hand and read down.

In the second half of the comic, a new villain appears.

He wore a suit and a bowler hat and called himself Mr. Mxyzptlk (Mr. Troublemaker).

Mr. Troublemaker has a funny appearance, but his power is unexpectedly powerful. He claims that he is a magician from the five-dimensional space and possesses various powerful magical abilities. Because he is too boring, he moves from the five-dimensional space where he lives. Zriff smuggled into the three-dimensional world where Superman lives.

Mr. Troublemaker, who traveled to the metropolis, showed great destructive power.

With a snap of his fingers, he made a building in Metropolis disappear without a trace. In order to stop Mr. Trouble from destroying him, Superman pursued him. However, in the comics, Mr. Trouble showed that he could fly faster than Superman. , and while flying, he also started a conversation with readers outside the newspaper.

"Hey, now that you've seen this scene in the newspaper, you must be wondering why such a funny-looking character can show abilities even more powerful than Superman..."

"But if you think about it from another angle, it doesn't seem difficult to understand. Just like looking from the perspective of ants, a small step for humans is a huge distance for them. Apply it to me. , the same is true for me who comes from the fifth dimensional world.”

Although Mr. Troublemaker in the story appears to be extremely powerful, in the end he still cannot escape the truth that evil prevails over good.

During the bet between Superman and Mr. Troublemaker, he showed his super brain power and successfully induced the other party to say his name backwards. Therefore, he had to return to his own dimension, and because of the different time between the two dimensions, Mr. Trouble needs to wait for ninety days before he can re-enter the world where Superman lives.

"Mr. Troublemaker, I've never seen such an interesting comic character."

"You can actually speak through newspapers..."

In this era, a character who can break the fourth-dimensional wall and talk to readers is undoubtedly a very novel design.

The man was obviously amazed by the content in the comic and sighed repeatedly.

While sighing, the man flipped through the Courier in his hand to the last page, and his eyes suddenly stopped.

On the last page of the newspaper, a notice was made in enlarged font: "From this newspaper, the first issue of the comic book of the same name of "The Courier" - "The Courier Comics" will be released starting from Sunday, March 21. It will be officially released in the morning. The comic content contains all the previously serialized "Superman" stories and has been re-coloured. Each copy is priced at 10 cents. Please come and buy it. "

"If you don't want to miss the latest color version of Superman, don't hesitate!"

Courier Comics?

Looking at the promotional report about "The Courier Comics" in the newspaper, the man's face showed a slightly strange expression.

However, before he could make a decision, the waiting transfer car stopped at the platform.

After taking one last look at the advertisement in the Courier, the man clasped the newspaper in his hand and hurriedly got into the car.

…

[Ability - Super Brain Power (Black Iron)]

[Ability description: Superman has incredible intelligence and amazing computational learning abilities, which can help him easily master difficult languages ​​and skills and handle some complex tasks. 】

There is less than a day left before the release of "Messenger Comics". At the same time, Colin has also unlocked a new ability with the latest serialization of "Superman" comics.

Superhuman [Super Brain Power].

However, compared to the comics, Superman is omnipotent and can master foreign languages ​​in just a few seconds of conversation. Colin can't do this with just the Iron-level [Super Brain Power]. Judging from the content of the text notes, the initial effect of this ability is just to improve his learning ability.

Of course, Colin had expected this.

He never expected to become a real Superman by unlocking the Iron-level [Super Brain Power].

The reason why he chose to serialize and unlock this ability in the comics is mainly because of the needs of the comic plot and to better adapt to another ability he had unlocked before - [Super Hearing].

That's right, the real purpose of Colin's choice to unlock [Super Brain Power] is actually mainly to match the use of [Super Hearing].

Although the [Super Defense] he unlocked before protected him from being too seriously injured under the influence of [Super Hearing], the side effects of using this ability every time still troubled Colin, making it impossible for him to use this ability smoothly.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Colin first thought of [Super Brain Power].

Only by using the powerful computing power brought by [Super Brain Power] can he maximize the role of [Super Hearing], instead of holding his breath and concentrating his will every time he uses it, as he did in the previous anti-world, fearing that the sound he heard would be disturbed.
