Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 113 The Mysterious Man Appears

With the ability that Colin has unlocked now.

If he wants, he can create a sufficient number of "Superman" plots in a short period of time.

The reason is that it was handed over to Jacob to complete.

The main purpose is to cultivate the other party's ability, especially the ability to create comics.

After all, when Colin invited the other party to join "Messenger Comics", he was not just looking for a coloring and background artist for himself. Jacob's inspiration and creativity in the comics were the key to his hiring the other party. .

Although, the current serialized content of "Messenger Comics" is mostly based on the plot of "Superman".

However, Ke Lin already had the idea to develop it independently.

After all, the name of this publication is "Messenger Comics" instead of "Superman Comics", and only printing the comic stories of "Superman" blindly can increase the sales of comics, but it also limits the publication itself.Superheroes never fight alone, and the comic behind "Messenger Comics" is not just "Superman".

Whether it is for the development of "Messenger Comics" or for Colin himself, more superheroes need to be developed.

After all, even Disney is hard at work creating new animated characters.

Even later, the popularity of the role of Donald Duck was once higher than that of Mickey, the symbol of Disney.

……

"Then, I will leave the matter of the newspaper office to all of you here, please, Old John."

"Don't worry, boss, I will take care of everything."

In the newspaper office, after explaining the follow-up work.

Colin went home non-stop, preparing to go to Los Angeles.

With old employees like Old John around, he wasn't worried about what kind of problems would happen to the newspaper society.

After all, he only went to Los Angeles for a few days.

"Jacob..."

Watching Colin's back disappear at the intersection, Little John let out a long sigh of relief, and then came to Jacob impatiently.

"Be careful, don't get dirty, I will color the original later."

Looking at his expectant eyes, Jacob handed over the sketch of "Superman" in his hand, and at the same time did not forget to remind him.

"Don't worry, I promise there will be no problems."

Carefully finished the drawing in Jacob's hand, Little John looked at the latest serials on it, and a trace of excitement flashed across his dull face.

The opportunity to watch several comics in a row like this is rare.

In the past, he had witnessed the plot of "Superman" at most one day in advance.

In the few serials left by Ke Lin, the prank king reappeared, and the appearance of this maverick villain aroused little John's exclamation.

Seeing his excited expression, Jacob who was on the side immediately became nervous, staring at the sketch in his hand without blinking.

I am afraid that the other party will get excited and cause some accident. It doesn't matter if Little John is injured. What happens to the sketch of "Superman" in his hand is the big problem. This is concerned about the next newspaper serialization.

Fortunately, what Jacob was worried about did not happen. Although Little John was excited, he also knew the importance of the cartoon in his hand.Next, under his fearful gaze, Little John was completely immersed in the plot of the comic.

In this comic, The Prankster shows his scheming side once again.

Through a series of legal means, the villain actually cheated the right to use English, and then collected taxes from all people who use English.Even the "Daily Courier", where Superman is located, has been affected and has to pay a large tax for it, because this is the right to use that the prank king has cheated through legal means, and even Superman has nothing to do about it.

Even the superman who appeared on the stage had to attack him while paying the tax during the conversation with the prank king.

"The right to use English?!"

"Prankster is such a criminal genius that even Superman can't do anything about his crimes."

Seeing the helpless plot of Superman in the comics, Little John lamented the novelty and eccentricity of the crime of the Prank King, but on the other hand was a little worried about how Superman should solve the crime of the Prank King, and even had an association from this plot .

Does the right to use English really have loopholes as mentioned in the comics? If in real life, some people use this method to obtain the right to use English, then all of them must be like Like the citizens of the metropolis, pay taxes.

In the comics, because of the crime of the prank king, the entire metropolis fell into chaos.

The Daily Courier is on the verge of bankruptcy because it cannot pay high taxes.

Louise and Superman are about to lose their jobs. At this time of desperation, Superman used the ability of super speed to review all the applications of the Prankster in just a few seconds while investigating the application procedures of the Prankster, and Finally, a loophole in the other party's legal process was found in it.

With this loophole, it was determined that the prank king's method of defrauding the right to use the English language was illegal, and Superman turned the situation around, saving the troubled Metropolis and keeping his job at the Daily Courier.

"Almost, the Prankster is a tough opponent."

"Super speed is really a useful ability. If I also have this ability, I can complete the work of the entire newspaper by myself..."

"Sure enough, it's Superman. Even a guy like the prankster is no match for him."

Little John, who had been holding his breath, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that the prankster lost the right to use English because of Superman's announcement at the back of the cartoon.

While sighing, he turned over the sketch in his hand.

Edit: "Kent, the news on the front page recently has been so mediocre that I even started to make up headlines. I heard that a mysterious person appeared in Gotham City. Take the camera. I need more reports and information about this mysterious person. It would be even better if the photo can be taken to prove the other party’s crime.”

In the series on the next page, the editor arranged for Superman to go to a city called Gotham City to report a news about a mysterious person.

"Gotham City, You-Know-Who?"

"Another new supervillain?"

Looking at the dialogue between the editor and Superman in the comics, Little John subconsciously regarded the mysterious man as a new criminal.

In his expectant eyes, Clark, the reporter disguised by Superman, took his camera and got on the train.I came to a city with a very different style from the metropolis - Gotham.
