American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

"Be careful, Colin."

Coming out of West 52nd Street in New York.

LaGuardia was in the car and reminded Colin again.

Watching LaGuardia's car leaving, Colin silently retracted his sight.

It was almost seven o'clock now, and it was a busy time.

Some guests could be seen passing by him and walking towards the 21 restaurant. Among them, Colin even saw some familiar figures, such as Joan Crawford, the Hollywood actress, who seemed to be a customer of Club 21.

In the movie "Grand Hotel" that Colin had seen before, there was a wonderful performance by the other party.

"...Are you really going to do this, Onassis? I don't think this is a good opportunity. Now the entire shipping industry is declining, and no one is optimistic about this industry..."

"It is precisely because no one is optimistic that we should act decisively. Opportunities are only for those who are prepared."

At the same time, under [Super Hearing], he also heard two English conversations with obvious Mediterranean accents.

The topic of cargo ship acquisition seemed to be mentioned in the conversation between the two.

Looking in the direction of the sound, two figures dressed with obvious foreign features passed by.

The name Onassis reminded Colin of a certain shipping tycoon.

The reason why this name was so impressive was purely because Onassis not only became a Greek shipping tycoon later, but also married Jacqueline, the widow of US President John F. Kennedy. At that time, the news of their marriage became a sensation around the world. Onassis's behavior not only made Americans lose face, but also broke their hearts.

This was the first time in American history that the first lady married a foreigner.

Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but look back at Onassis's back.

At this time, Onassis had just started working in the cargo ship industry, and another key figure, John F. Kennedy, was still in boarding school. Who could have thought that one day in the future, the two would be connected in a special way?

Raising an eyebrow, he retracted his gaze and put away this unique memory.

Colin turned and walked out of 52nd Street.

Coming out of the busy 21 Club, the street outside took on a completely different look.

Obviously, in this era.

The hustle and bustle of the 21 Club was just an exception, a unique prosperity produced under the prohibition.

Poverty was the main axis of this period. Passing through the bleak and deserted streets, Colin's eyes were attracted by a sign in front of a yard.

"4 children for sale"

On the sign, it was written in big words that the children were for sale.

Looking down along the sign, you can see four ragged children hugging each other, sitting on the stairs of the house and playing with each other. Their innocent appearance formed a strong contrast with the content on the sign.

Noticing Colin's gaze, the mother in front of the yard looked at him with some shame but a little expectation.

No matter which country it is, selling children is an extremely humiliating thing.

But if there is no other way, which mother would do this?

"..."

Silently withdrawing his gaze, Colin's relaxed mood brought by Club 21 became heavy again.

He thought he was already very familiar with the Great Depression, but he greatly underestimated the impact of this era on the people.

In a depressed mood, Colin crossed the street and came to the tram transfer platform.

While he was silently waiting for the tram, several young people suddenly walked to his side and stopped.

"Huh?"

Noticing these young people approaching, Colin restrained his emotions, and then found that the position where they stood seemed to be closer than normal.

Seeing this, he frowned and took a step back.

Then, he saw these young people approaching also followed Colin's movements and surrounded him in the middle.

"You..."

Looking at these young people surrounding him, Colin narrowed his eyes slightly, and vaguely guessed in his heart.

However, before he could say anything.

He saw these young people take out pistols from their arms and point them at Colin.

Bang, bang——

Accompanied by the loud sound of gunfire, the tram in the distance stopped with a sharp brake sound, and the passengers poked their heads out of the car.

Some passers-by showed surprised expressions, obviously not expecting a shooting.

And looking in the direction of the sound, I saw several figures holding pistols in front of the platform falling to the ground, wailing in pain.

And next to them, Colin, who was the target of the shooting, stood there intact.

[Ability-Super Strength (Bronze)]

[Ability Description: Superman's first appearance showed the powerful strength of lifting a car above his head. As the plot of the comics develops, his strength becomes greater than that of a locomotive. He can throw a tank effortlessly, break a chain with one hand, and block a small plane. ]

Scanning the text in front of him, Colin retracted his gaze.

Because of the comic serialized on Wednesday, [Super Strength] became the first ability he unlocked to upgrade to the [Bronze] level.

With the upgrade of abilities, Colin's power in the positive world has also been partially improved.

With the weakened version of [Super Speed], he easily dodged the attacks of several people and punched them hard.

"So, who ordered you?"

Colin asked as he walked to a gunman.

The attack was simple and crude, but it was in line with the characteristics of this era.

"No one ordered us to do that. We just saw you coming out of the restaurant alone, so we wanted to rob you..."

Gritting his teeth and enduring the severe pain in his chest, the attacker said with a cold sweat.

Obviously, this was a statement that several people had prepared long ago, and they planned to use it as an excuse to shoot Colin after being caught.

However, they did not expect that Colin, as the target, was more agile than expected, and the power of his fist was beyond imagination.

Just one punch made them lose the ability to resist.

Hearing their words, Colin knew that this was a premeditated attack. As gunmen, these people had already been given answers. In fact, they might not even know why they shot Colin. They were just ordered to do so.

Thinking of this, Colin gave up this meaningless preparation.

"Can you help me notify the police? I was just attacked by a gunman."

Turning his head, he reminded the passers-by.

Attack? !

Hearing this, the passers-by looked at the people lying on the ground who were powerless to resist and Colin who was standing aside intact, and his face was full of confusion.

The situation in front of him, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the person lying on the ground is the target of the attack.
