American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression
Chapter 129: Batman Appears
"Um?"
Hearing Colin's question, LaGuardia was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
However, he quickly reacted and said: "This is not a secret."
LaGuardia once served as the deputy attorney general of New York City and was twice elected to the House of Representatives, accumulating rich political experience and connections.
Nowadays, if you want to advance politically, the only way left is to run for mayor.
In fact, LaGuardia has long revealed his intention to run for mayor of New York City, and there is not much opposition within the Republican Party. Because of the Great Depression, the entire New York City situation was in chaos. The soaring unemployment rate, the prevalence of corruption, and the deteriorating public security led to deepening public dissatisfaction.
Everyone knows that New York is a mess these days.
And America is a seemingly bigger mess.
No one can do anything about it, including those sitting in Washington.
Although the competition within the party is not fierce, this does not mean that LaGuardia will definitely be successful in being elected mayor of New York City.
The current mayor of New York City, Jimmy Walker, is a Democrat. He has been successfully re-elected as mayor for two terms. He once ran against Roosevelt for the nomination of New York State Governor. He is a quite experienced politician. And has already announced that he will participate in the third term of New York mayor.
Although, New York City is not doing well under Jimmy Walker's management.
However, LaGuardia identified Jimmy Walker as a strong opponent in his bid for New York City mayor.
Especially with Tammany Hall fully supporting the other side.
Tammany Hall, originally established on May 12, 1789, was originally a national patriotic charity organization in the United States dedicated to safeguarding democratic institutions, especially against the upper-class theory of the Federalist Party. However, as time went on, the association became a political institution in New York and a political machine of the Democratic Party, specifically used to attack political opponents.
It is said that Jimmy Walker's re-election success was closely related to Tammany Hall.
It is precisely because of the existence of Tammany Hall that the Republican Party is not optimistic about LaGuardia's New York mayoral campaign.
Hearing LaGuardia's answer, Colin smiled slightly, and then expressed his support.
"In fact, from my personal position, I quite support your candidacy, Mr. LaGuardia. New York City does need a new mayor to solve the terrible situation at hand."
Colin's clear stance of support made LaGuardia reveal an unexpected expression on his face.
This level of support has been rare since he announced his bid for New York City mayor.
The vast majority of people still believe that Jimmy Walker has a greater chance of being re-elected.
"Thanks."
Regardless of whether Colin's support was sincere or just a show of words, LaGuardia expressed his gratitude for it.
"I will work hard not to disappoint supporters like you, Mr. Colin Looper."
Although LaGuardia appears confident on the surface, only he knows best how much hope he has in his campaign.
"No, it's not just hard work, Mr. LaGuardia, I think you should prepare for the campaign in advance, and I don't think there will be any disappointment."
Hearing Colin's meaningful answer, LaGuardia frowned and looked up at the young face in front of him.
From his expression, LaGuardia seemed to be aware of something.
"you mean?"
However, when faced with LaGuardia's question, Colin did not answer directly.
"We'll see."
He just smiled and said something to LaGuardia opposite him, and then turned his attention back to the grilled seabass on his dinner plate.
LaGuardia was left sitting across from him at the dining table, looking thoughtful.
He turned his head and glanced at Hughes, who was already sitting with a lady at another table not far away, intending to ask the other party about Colin's identity later.
…
Inside restaurant No. 21.
Colin did not have too in-depth communication with LaGuardia.
With the introduction of Hughes, he briefly contacted the other party, revealed his support position, and ended the meeting.
And it was the second day after the two met.
Readers of "The Courier" saw the latest "Superman" serialization in the newspaper.
This Wednesday, the plot of the comics has been serialized into the story of Superman coming to Gotham City to investigate the mysterious man left behind by Colin before going to Los Angeles.
Today's content follows the previous series and tells the subsequent story.
At the beginning of the comic, it connects to the previous scene where Superman fell with the robber.
As the robbers screamed wildly, they fell straight down from the Wayne Building.
When it fell to the ground, the pavement beneath its feet became shattered.
Superman: "It was quite interesting. Let's do it again."
The unharmed Superman issued an invitation to the robber in his hand, but the latter shouted crazily: "No, I say! The mysterious man will appear wherever crimes occur, and you can go to those places to find traces of him. ”
After getting the information he wanted, Superman threw the robber at the door of the Gotham City Police Station, and then began to search for the place where the crime occurred. He flew into the sky over Gotham City, showed his super vision and found a place where the crime was taking place. Bank robbery in progress.
Five minutes later, Superman appeared in front of the bank robbers, blocking their way.
Superman: "Whether you like it or not, stop the robbery now."
Bank robber: "Who are you?!"
Superman: "Superman!"
Seeing Superman suddenly appear, the bank robbers screamed and raised their pistols to shoot him.
Soon, Superman was caught in a deafening machine gun barrage. The rain of machine gun bullets hit his body without causing any damage. Superman ran straight to the robbers who were shooting!
Seeing Superman rushing towards the group of people without paying attention to the bullets, the robbers were so scared that they couldn't even hold the machine guns in their hands.
Bank robber: "Oh my God, you're fine!"
Superman: "I'm sorry, I can't say the same thing to you."
As he said that, Superman waved his fist and easily knocked the bank robbers to the ground. They fell to the ground one by one, and the barrels of the machine guns were twisted into iron rings wrapped around their necks.
However, even so, the mysterious man in Gotham City still did not show up.
Just when Superman thought that the mysterious man would not show up, a deep voice suddenly came from the shadows.
"Sword Comes"
The mysterious man: "I heard you are looking for me?"
Superman: "Who are you?"
The mysterious man: "I'm Batman!"
