American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

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

On weekend mornings, the cries of newsboys can be heard in every corner of 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 on 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 content of the latest issue of "Superman" comics.

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 depression, but in the end Superman stopped him.

"Why, in reality, there is no existence like Superman to prevent the Great Depression?"

The plot of this comic made the man deeply moved.

Especially when he saw Superman descending 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 lives than struggle in the quagmire of 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 helplessly as the Great Depression emerged.

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 in the dimensional space 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.

, for me who comes from the fifth-dimensional world, the same is true."

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

During the bet between Superman and Mr. Troublemaker, he showed his super brainpower and successfully lured the other party to say his name backwards. Therefore, he had to return to his own dimension, and because of the difference in 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 have 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 recolored and organized. Each copy is priced at 10 cents. Please come and purchase it."

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

"Messenger 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 bus 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 the power of foreign languages ​​through just a few seconds of conversation. Colin has only unlocked the Black Iron level [Super Brain Power] and is obviously not able to do this.

Judging from the content of the text notes, the initial role of this ability is only to improve his learning ability.

Of course, Colin had actually expected this.

He never expected to become a real superman by unlocking the black iron level [super brain power].

The reason why I chose to serialize and unlock this ability in the comics was mainly because of the needs of the comic plot and to better adapt to another ability I 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 the [Super Hearing] ability.

Although the [Super Defense Power] he unlocked before protected him from being seriously injured under the influence of [Super Hearing], the side effects of every use of this ability still bothered Colin.

, preventing him from using this ability smoothly.

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

Only by using the powerful computing power brought by [Super Brain Power] can he assist him to play the role of [Super Hearing] to the maximum extent, instead of having to hold his breath and concentrate his will every time he uses it, and be afraid of himself.

The sounds heard are disturbed.
