American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

In the next few days, Colin continued to travel between the positive and negative worlds while serializing "Superman" comics.

Try to unlock more new abilities while silently adapting to the [super power].

【Super power】

As Colin's earliest serialized ability in comics.

In later generations, under the overwhelming baptism of various superhero comic themes, this ability has almost become a bad ability. Even in many comic stories, both superheroes as positive characters and evil super villains have this ability.

One ability.

However, having poor abilities does not mean that [superpower] is bad.

On the contrary, it is precisely because the ability [Super Strength] is so easy to use and can best express the superhuman side of the character.

The creators of comics will work tirelessly to add it to their characters.

The feeling of being able to lift the car easily is really fascinating.

After a few days, Colin has basically adapted to his new ability, and he will no longer destroy things around him uncontrollably like he did when he first got the ability.

In the past few days, he had taken great pains to conceal the abnormality in his ability.

Almost exposed in front of the cameraman.

The complex situation in the anti-world made Colin wary, so he did not want to expose his specialness prematurely before he had enough ability to protect himself.

Similarly, I have no intention of relying on my own [super strength] to act chivalrously and become a superhero.

Even in the real world.

The character "Superman" he created has become a symbol of superheroes in readers' minds.

…

"Acquisition?"

Positive World, inside the Courier newspaper office.

Colin looked at the uninvited middle-aged man in front of him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"That's right."

He nodded and looked around the crowded space of the Courier newspaper office. A look of contempt flashed in the man's eyes. He turned to look at Colin in front of him and said in a condescending tone: "In fact, the conditions I proposed are not for "The Courier".

For a tabloid like The Courier, this is already a huge concession... The price of two hundred thousand US dollars is enough to buy ten small newspapers like The Courier at this time..."

"According to the latest statistics, the sales volume of The Courier is only about 23,000 copies, which is not even a fraction of the sales of World Journal."

As the man said, the daily circulation of "World Journal" exceeded one million, which can be said to be one of the newspapers with the largest circulation in New York during this period.

Obviously, a major newspaper with a daily circulation of millions.

It is impossible to attack a tabloid like The Courier without any reason.

Therefore, there is only one reason for World Journal to take action.

"So, your goal is "Superman"?"

Faced with Colin's question, the man who made the acquisition on behalf of "World Journal" obviously didn't bother to lie. He nodded and immediately admitted: "There is no doubt that the only one in the entire "Courier" that can be read by "World Journal"

The only ones that won were the comic strips of "Superman"."

Not only readers are aware of the potential of "Superman", newspapers are also aware of it.

Following the serialization of the comics, the sales of "The Courier" continued to rise. Although it is still not worth mentioning compared to major newspapers such as "World Journal", the meaning behind this undoubtedly makes "World Journal"

Heartwarming.

After all, the larger the newspaper industry, the more it values ​​newspaper sales.

Since "Superman" can increase the sales of "The Courier" from the original tens of thousands to 20,000, then if it is published in "World Journal" with a larger circulation and wider readership, will it be able to

Attract more readers, thereby increasing the sales of newspapers.

Not to mention, "World Journal" can use some of the peripheral income generated from the "Superman" comics.

It is for this reason that "World Journal" took action to acquire Colin's Courier Newspaper.

Under normal circumstances, when faced with an acquisition proposed by a major newspaper like World Journal, there is no reason to refuse.

Although, as a party to the negotiations, World Journal's attitude was a bit arrogant.

But that doesn't make them any less tempting to throw conditions.

At least, in the Courier newspaper office, after listening to the conditions proposed by "World Journal", the faces of Old John and Little John showed obvious expressions of excitement.

Once Colin agreed to the other party's acquisition.

They will also receive an objective severance package and even have the opportunity to work in a branch of World Journal.

"Feel sorry."

"I have no current plans to sell The Courier."

Looking away from Old John and his son, Colin decisively rejected the acquisition of World Journal.

As the creator of comics, he knows the value of "Superman" better than anyone in the world.

Not to mention, to obtain the ability of [Black Iron Mark], Colin needs to continue to serialize the comic content to unlock it.

Once "Superman" falls into the hands of "World Journal", how can he guarantee that the other party will serialize the comics according to his wishes? More importantly, Colin cannot guarantee that if "Superman" is serialized in "World Journal"

, whether the readers gained will still become [faith] like "The Courier".

It was precisely because of all these concerns that Colin rejected World Journal.

Of course, it is undeniable.

He was unhappy with the arrogant attitude that the other party had shown since he entered the newspaper office.

"Um?!"

Colin's answer of refusal was obviously not within the expectations of World Journal.

"Are you sure you have thought it through, Mr. Colin Looper?"

The middle-aged man in charge of the acquisition looked at him and reconfirmed, as if he didn't quite believe what he heard.

"Do you understand what you are doing now?"

"I think I've made it very clear."

Facing the man's question, Colin replied calmly.

"The Courier is in good operating condition, and I have no intention of selling the newspaper. So, I'm sorry, sir, that your trip was in vain."

After hearing what Colin said, the expression on the man's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"You don't know what you're missing!"

He stood up, picked up the hat on the table and put it on his head again. The other person looked down at Colin in front of him and said with obvious threats in his tone.

"Before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, you have one last chance to regret, Mr. Colin Looper, otherwise the Courier will be prepared to close its doors. You must know that the Courier is not the only one in the world.

"A newspaper draws so-called superhero comics..."
