American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

Jingle bell, jingle bell——

"Hello, this is the Daily Bugle. What do you have to say..."

"Quickly, let the live broadcast truck leave for Fifth Avenue. Witnesses found traces of suspected members of the Thunder Agents there..."

"There is a fire in a building in Manhattan. Send a reporter to the scene immediately to cover the situation!"

The Daily Bugle, Second Avenue and 39th Street, New York.

The tall 46th floor of the news industry building is full of people.

Inside the newspaper office, the employees of "Daily Bugle" were busy and had a little bit of anxiety or uneasiness on their faces.

The news that the newspaper is about to be acquired has spread a lot, and the silent reaction of J. Jonah Jameson, the founder and owner of the Daily Bugle, further proves the authenticity of this rumor.

After all, based on everyone’s understanding of bosses in the past, Jameson is not someone who is easily subdued.

Therefore, in the face of the rumors circulating in newspapers today, the only reason for silence is the authenticity of the rumors.

With the fact that the acquisition rumors were acquiesced, everyone in the Daily Bugle now knows that the newspaper's acquisition is a destined outcome.

The difference may just be the timing and the target of the acquisition.

…

"...So, Mr. Wilson, can you tell me the reasons for running for mayor this time? We all know that you are already a successful businessman, but mayor, especially the mayor of New York City?"

In the studio, the veteran reporter of the newspaper, Ben Yurich, was conducting interviews.

He glanced down at the question card in his hand, then raised his head and asked the tall man sitting on the sofa opposite: "Are you really ready?"

"certainly."

On the sofa, Wilson Fisk or Kingpin casually adjusted the slightly skewed lapel pin at the collar of his white suit, while smiling and nodding towards the camera in front of him and giving a positive answer.

The campaign image designed by a professional campaign team after discussion, alleviated the oppressive feeling caused by Kingpin's huge body to the greatest extent. In addition, the good public image he has cultivated for a long time made him quickly publicize the news of his campaign.

Become one of the popular candidates in this New York City mayoral election.

Even in a new round of polls jointly conducted by the Daily Bugle and Emerson College not long ago, Kingpin, a businessman, received an approval rating of 19%, which was higher than his score in the same poll last week.

It more than doubled and ranked second among the candidates.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Kingpin’s polls have been able to rise rapidly in a short period of time is not only due to the good image he has maintained for a long time, but also because of the sexual harassment scandal that was recently exposed by the former New York City Cleaning Department Director.

One of the main reasons is that those voters who were disappointed with the Director of the Cleaning Bureau turned angrily and chose to support Kingpin, which led to his rapid rise in the polls in just one week and becoming one of the popular candidates for the New York City mayoral election.

one.

"As for why you asked me to run for mayor..."

In the studio, the interview continues.

Kingpin glanced down at the reporter in the anchor position, deliberately leaned forward slightly, and at the same time lowered his voice and said: "You know, Benyurich, my childhood experience was not good. In the days since I can remember,

, every day is accompanied by shootings and gang fights, and even my father eventually died on the streets in gang fights..."

"... Such a childhood gave me a huge impact and gave me a deeper understanding of the social law of the jungle. From then on, I came up with the idea of ​​changing my life. I don't want to one day

My ending was to repeat my father's future, so I worked hard to change, and finally started from scratch with my own hands, and successfully created my own 'business empire'..."

In front of reporter Ben Yurich, Jin Xian recounted his entrepreneurial experience that had been beautified and deleted by the campaign team, successfully attracting everyone in the studio, and then he changed the subject and guided the content to

On top of his own campaign proposition: “It is precisely because of such a childhood that I have a deeper understanding of the darkness of New York City. I grew up there and clearly understand the crime problem in New York City and that our police system needs to be better.

Strong reforms, rather than relying on so-called 'vigilantes' to protect..."

"Oh, Mr. Wilson, you don't seem to support the superhero culture that is prevalent in New York City today?"

From Jin Bin's interview, Benyurich smelled the news and immediately asked questions without hesitation.

Noticing the glinting look of inquiry in Benyurich's eyes, Kingpin sneered secretly in his heart, but on the surface he still cooperated and replied: "You misunderstood me, Benyurich, I am not against all supers."

Heroes, in fact, are registered superhero groups like the Thunderbolts. Although they appear to be superheroes, they are actually still under the control of the federal government. What I object to are those who fight against

Civilian 'vigilantes' who are known as 'superheroes' but are unwilling to accept registration and supervision are one of the main factors leading to the rising crime rate in New York City in recent years..."

The twenty-minute live television interview ended successfully, and Benyurich took the initiative to extend his hand to Kingpin in front of him.

"Mr. Wilson, I look forward to the day when you become mayor."

"Thank you, Benyurich."

Stretching out his thick and broad palm and giving the reporter a tentative shake, Jin Bin accepted the blessing with a smile.

"I'm also looking forward to that day."

…

At the same time, the fire scene was filled with thick smoke.

The screams were mixed with the rapid sirens of the fire trucks, and were clearly shown to the audience in front of the TV through the live cameras.

"...It can be seen that the firefighters who arrived are working hard to control the situation at the scene and try to avoid the further spread of the fire scene..."

"Currently, the cause of this disaster is still unknown, but according to residents who escaped from the fire scene, the original location of the fire seemed to be on the top floor of a residential building. When many residents heard calls for help, they

The fire has spread from the top floor, which shows how quickly the fire spreads. Now we can only pray that the firefighters can successfully rescue the victims who are still trapped in the building..."

"...The above is the latest report brought to you by Daily Bugle reporter Colin Luper from the scene of the fire!"
