American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

"Boss..."

Put away the 'recruitment information' outside the door and disperse the unemployed people who were reluctant to leave the door.

John Jr. said to Colin.

"Thank you for your hard work."

In the newspaper office, Colin stretched and drank the coffee on the table.

The time spent on recruitment was longer than Colin had originally expected.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still underestimated people's desire for work during the Great Depression.

In order to find a job, some people stayed at the door of the Detroit Employment Agency all night, and some walked 900 miles. Even in Washington State, in order to be hired as a firefighter, some people went to the forest to set fire.

This kind of rumors about work may sound absurd, but it is indeed a real example in the Great Depression.

Even for a simple job recruitment like the Messenger Newspaper, there are only three positions, and the line of applicants outside is almost two or three hundred people.

Even if he hadn't asked John Jr. to limit it, the line outside might have been even longer.

In any case, with the end of the recruitment work,

Colin's affairs in the positive world have basically come to an end. All that remains is to wait for the publication of the Courier.

So, Scott, hold on a little longer.

...

"Istha a bird? Is that a plane? That's - Superman!"

I don't know when the hawking of newspaper boys has become the most eye-catching scene on the streets of New York.

And this slang in their mouths has become a household name with the popularity of the Superman comics.

"Sir, your newspaper."

Folding a copy of the Courier and handing it to the customer in front of him, Little Jimmy looked down at the newspaper in his hand that had been sold for most of the time, and muttered in a low voice.

"Mr. Colin's newspaper is becoming more and more popular."

Of course, the popularity of the Courier is definitely not a bad thing for the newspaper boy.

"Maybe, next time I can consider buying another bundle of the Courier."

Wholesale of two bundles of newspapers at a time is definitely a rather risky decision for the newspaper boy with a meager income.

After all, no one can guarantee that the sales of newspapers will always be popular. Once the newspapers cannot be sold, they will lose money. They may even lose the capital of wholesale newspapers and the job opportunities they rely on for survival.

Just like the New York News, a big newspaper that once competed with the World Journal for pages, it was forced to transform and its sales volume was not as good as before with the decline of "yellow journalism".

However, after taking a look at the big Superman logo on the cover of the Messenger in his bag.

Jimmy was full of confidence in his heart. His confidence did not come from his good impression of Mr. Colin, but because of his grasp of readers' preferences.

As a front-line newspaper worker, Jimmy knew the distribution changes of major newspapers in New York City better than anyone else.

The serialization of Superman comics has made the Messenger the most popular newspaper in the hands of newsboys.

It is said that even newsboys three blocks away are asking deliverymen to bring them some Messenger newspapers, because Superman is more popular than news.

Ability - Super Breathing Black Iron

Ability description: Superman's lungs can withstand any pressure or lack, and can easily hold his breath for several hours. He can use this ability to easily fight in the sea. 】

Ability - Super Housework Black Iron

Ability description: Superman has strong housework ability, which is also the key to his always keeping clean. 】

In the Courier Newspaper, Colin looked at the two abilities unlocked on the Black Iron Mark, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Needless to say, the ability of Super Breathing is naturally to fight against the poisonous smoke in the Anti-World Hydra Base.

Although the Super Breathing unlocked at present is only the ability of the Black Iron level, and the ability performance is only the strong lung endurance.

But with the development of the comics, more abilities related to Super Breathing will naturally be unlocked in the future.

Moreover, even the Super Breathing that has just been unlocked is not weak.

After holding his breath for a while, Colin's body did not feel any discomfort.

It was not until the time of holding his breath was prolonged that he finally reacted.

Take a deep breath, and as he breathes again, the feeling of lack of oxygen disappears instantly.

Colin has basically mastered the use of the ability of 【Super Breathing】. In a way, after unlocking 【Super Breathing】, he has become essentially different from ordinary people, and has taken a step towards becoming a real superman. Breathing is no longer his weakness.

At present, the longest known human breath-holding is only about twenty minutes, and this is under the premise that the challenger does not do any action that consumes oxygen.

Colin, who has mastered 【Super Breathing】, can easily move normally in half an hour.

Moreover, this ability can last longer in the anti-world.

This means that even in an oxygen-free environment in the future, he can continue to fight for several hours.

And this is just 【Super Breathing】, which has just been unlocked to the 【Black Iron】 level.

In addition to 【Super Breathing】, which Colin values, he also unlocked another new ability in this comic series.

【Super Housework】

As soon as you hear the name, you know that it is about the ability to organize housework.

The comic storyline that unlocks this ability is also quite simple. In a storyline called "Messy Home", it tells that Lois agreed to visit Clark's home, but Superman, who was busy fighting crime, completely forgot about it. When he reacted, Lois had already arrived downstairs of Clark's apartment.

Looking at the messy room at home, Superman used the ability of [Super Housework] to easily clean the room.

When Clark opened the door, Lois saw a neat and clean room at that time.

Lois: Clark, I didn't expect your room to be so clean! I thought you would forget to clean it because of your busy work as a reporter.

Clark Superman: In fact, I almost forgot it, but when I thought of my date with you, I mentioned it.

Lois: You are really thoughtful, Clark.

Clark Superman: Of course, because the person who came is you, Lois.

The reason why such a comic content of "Superman's Daily Life" was published is because the previous "Dual Identity" storyline received a warm response from readers.

It is definitely not because Colin is too lazy to plan for hygiene.

Although, after unlocking the ability of Super Housework, he can easily clean up the pile of dishes in the kitchen sink with his eyes closed.
