American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

Time Gem Fragment 1/9]

Positive World, Courier Newspaper.

Colin looked at the text with a thoughtful expression on his face.

This line of text did not exist before, but appeared together with the time fragment "Human Torch/Fire Man".

Perhaps this also explains why he can travel between the positive and negative worlds.

So, the meaning of the text is to remind me to collect the broken time stones?

If so, then your appearance would be too late.

Colin muttered something silently in his heart, retracted his gaze from the text, and turned to look in the direction of the newspaper door.

With his weakened version of super hearing in the real world, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from outside the newspaper office.

"Mr. Colin..."

Pushing open the half-open door of the newspaper office, what was revealed was the small, freckled face of Jimmy the newspaper boy.

"Jimmy?"

Looking at the newsboy appearing in the newspaper office, Colin had a surprised expression on his face. If he remembered correctly, now was the busiest time for the newsboy to sell newspapers.

"Is there a problem?"

After holding up the big newsboy cap on his head, Jimmy handed a newspaper in his hand to Colin.

"Sir, this is the latest issue of World Journal. I think you should take a look."

There is no rest in the work of newspaper boys. In fact, from the moment they open their eyes every morning, they need to work hard for a day's life. On days when the Courier is not published, Jimmy will also buy some other newspapers for sale.

Glancing at the panting newsboy in front of him, Colin followed his words and looked down.

ubersoldiersuper soldier

On the comic strip page of "World Daily", a figure wearing a yellow cloak and a U mark printed on the chest appeared majestically in the comic.

Super soldier?

I remember that "World Daily" didn't always serialize the comics of "Flame Man".

Looking at the ubersoldier in the newspaper, which had a strong sense of copycat, a trace of doubt flashed in Colin's eyes. To be honest, he actually liked the content of the "Fire Man" comic, and was even a loyal reader of this comic.

I caught up with the latest serial content.

Therefore, "World Journal" canceled the previous serial "Fire Man" and then copied its own "Superman.

The comic plot of ubersoldier super soldier gives people a sense of déjà vu.

The main plot of the comic tells the story of an alien scientist who created a super soldier in a giant test tube. Due to an accident, the experiment exploded and the super soldier also fell to the earth. He was born with powerful strength and was

After the death of his adoptive parents, he used his power to save mankind.

From then on, the ubersoldier super soldier was born!

Looking at the scene in the comics where the super soldier wearing a yellow cape chases a car, the expression on Colin's face couldn't help but become a little more subtle.

There is no doubt that "World Daily" is a copycat version of Superman and Super Soldier.

He borrowed a lot from the plot of his own comics, and at the same time stitched together the content of "Fireman" to create such a nondescript superhero.

Perhaps, you will think that World Journal's plagiarism is a bit too shameless and does not have the image that a major newspaper should have.

But in fact, this is the essence of World Journal.

At that time, Joseph Pulitzer bought the World Journal, which was about to go bankrupt, and relied on publishing various sensational news reports to attract attention. While reporting on major international news, his colleagues chased crimes, disasters and accidents to stir up public opinion.

The stimulating layout is the main focus to stimulate the readers’ senses.

In order to attract readers, "World Journal" once published an article with the title: "French scientists and explorers discovered a savage tribe with a well-developed tail."

At the same time, a picture was distributed, showing a male known as the "man-monkey" lying on a tree.

According to subsequent reports, this article about "human monkeys" was completely fabricated fake news. In order to gain space, World Journal directly published it without any investigation.

It was also heavily printed and used as the front page of the weekend magazine at that time.

Under Pulitzer's command, the front page of World Journal often featured a hula-hooping dancer, and also appeared on the front page of "Falling in love with her money," "Playboy drinking," and "Going to jail for my brother."

” and other sensational news headlines.

During the most intense period of newspaper competition, the World Journal and the New York News used all possible means, and even often launched hypocritical reform movements in newspapers to expand the circulation of newspapers.

Stimulating the senses, fanning the flames of war, reporting feverishly, and doing everything possible for sales, this is the essence of World Journal.

…

"Thank you, Jimmy."

Taking his eyes away from the World Journal in his hand, Colin thanked the newsboy in front of him.

Although, even if Jimmy doesn't show up, Colin will learn about this fake Superman from other places later.

However, this does not affect the newsboy's kindness.

"I didn't do anything, sir."

Shaking his head, Jimmy held up the large newsboy hat on his head, and then touched the rope holding the newspaper around his waist.

"You are a good man, Mr. Colin. Your kindness has allowed the newsboys to earn more money, but World Journal has been thinking about how to leave even one cent of money from the newsboys."

In the world of journalism, Joseph Pulitzer is a powerful figure and the richest media tycoon in the early 20th century. However, in the minds of newsboys, he and his World Journal have always been the object of their dissatisfaction.

.At the beginning, one of the main targets of the newsboy strike included the World Journal in the hands of Joseph Pulitzer.

"No, the news you brought is very important to me."

Colin took out a 5-cent coin from his pocket and put it into the ink-stained hand of the newsboy as a reward for tipping off the news to express his gratitude.

Jimmy did not reject Colin's move. Jimmy held the five-cent coin tightly in his hand. This may be the reason why he brought the newspaper to the newspaper office. Then he raised his freckled face,

He glanced at Colin in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

"So, Mr. Colin, will you fight back?"

"certainly."

Facing the newsboy's question, Colin did not deny it. He pointed at the "Super Soldier Comic" in the "World Journal" with his arms raised and a triumphant expression on his face.

"I will be like Superman and punch this faker in the face..."
