American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

By reporting the news, he successfully led a demonstration against the "Superhero Registration Act" in the anti-world.

As the initiator, Colin also retired. Except for the initial demonstration in which he participated, the rest of the stage was handed over to the citizens of New York City.

The reason given to the outside world was that he did not want to be in the spotlight because of his participation and respected the rights of the protesters.

But the actual reason was that Ben Yurich and Jameson of "Frontline" believed that Colin's report had attracted too much hatred. For the sake of safety, Colin should avoid showing his face in public during this period.

Although, the concerns of Jameson and others did not exist.

There may be dangers in the anti-world, but it is absolutely impossible for him to appear in a demonstration.

However, since Ben Yurich and others asked, Colin was happy to relax.

Anyway, the fuse has been lit, even without his participation, the parade will become larger and larger over time.

Even according to reports from online media, small-scale demonstrations and conflicts broke out in Los Angeles and Washington.

Obviously, the protests against the Superhero Registration Act have spread from New York to all parts of the United States.

Next, the Thunderbolts or the Superhuman Behavior Supervision Committee behind them will have to deal with the problems and troubles caused by these marches for some time.

…

Turning his eyes away from the anti-Superhero Registration Act march on TV, Colin looked at the text in front of him.

[Super Brainpower (Bronze)]

[Super Strong Defense (Bronze)]

With the latest issue of the Courier, he successfully improved his abilities by two [Black Iron] levels.

"First Evolution"

The latter does not need too much explanation.

[Bronze] level defense can help him better withstand all kinds of damage from the anti-world, especially when the levels of various hot weapons in the anti-world are far beyond the scope of the positive world.

In fact, if possible, Colin would like to reproduce the classic scene of Superman being unscathed in the atomic bomb explosion and taking photos.

However, it is limited by the times.

The atomic bomb in the positive world is still in the initial stage of scientific fantasy, and even the most critical paper on the fission of uranium nuclei has not been published. Without reality as a reference, even if Colin created this scene in the comics, it would not touch the readers too deeply.

Of course, Colin can also use his upgraded [Bronze] level [Super Brain Power] to study the production of nuclear weapons in the positive world.

However, he is not the evil villain in the comics who wants to rule the world, and why should he spend time and effort to study the production of nuclear weapons when he can unlock superhuman abilities.

This kind of completely thankless task is obviously not what Colin pursues.

After unlocking the [Bronze] level [Super Brain Power], Colin's thinking ability has obviously been significantly improved.

In just a moment, more than one-third of the fission chain reaction formula has been derived. The remaining part cannot be completed due to his own knowledge reserves, but as long as he is willing, he can complete the remaining formula by reading.

Shaking his head, Colin suppressed the formula in his mind and put more emphasis on the ability of [Super Brain Power (Bronze)].

There is no doubt that after the ability is upgraded to [Bronze], it is completely different from [Black Iron].

This can be seen from the previous [Super Strength]. After the ability reaches [Bronze], the battle process between him and the members of the Thunderbolt Special Forces can almost be described as crushing.

And this point seems to be more obvious in [Super Brain Power].

Picking up a book in his hand, Colin found that as long as he wanted, he could remember the contents of the entire book in a dozen seconds.

This is just a manifestation of the improvement of brain power. The previous situation of easily deriving the formula of the fission chain reaction also proved that he upgraded not only his memory, but also his calculation ability.

[Ability Description: Superman has incredible intelligence and amazing calculation and learning ability. He can read a book in ten seconds and master the knowledge that ordinary people need to spend half a month to learn. 】

From the textual introduction, it can also be clearly seen that the upgrade of the ability brings Colin an improvement.

The improvement of [Super Brain Power] is within Colin's expectations, so he did not show too much surprise.

In just a few seconds, he adapted to the all-round upgrade brought by this ability upgrade, including the leap in thinking ability and a more detailed grasp of his own abilities.

He lowered his head and glanced at the water cup on the table, and his thoughts flashed.

Two red lights from his eyes fell on the cup, and instantly preheated the cold coffee in the cup to the appropriate temperature.

This kind of control over the release of [Thermal Vision] is also something that can be done after [Super Brain Power] is upgraded to [Bronze].

If it were before, Colin's [Thermal Vision] would burn a hole in the entire building, not to mention the water cup.

"Not bad."

Tasting a sip of hot coffee, Colin nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on the notebook in front of him. The use of [Thermal Vision] was just a small attempt at his abilities. The next step was to unlock the [Bronze] level [Super Brain Power].

As thoughts flashed through Colin's mind, his fingers moved quickly on the laptop keyboard.

Soon, a large number of drawings appeared on the computer screen.

Densely packed drawings flashed rapidly on the lens, like a data storm.

…

"Sure enough, it feels the same as always."

In the real world, after completing the accumulation of knowledge, Colin opened his eyes and felt the familiar feeling of oppression coming from his body, with a clear look in his heart.

The abilities unlocked in the real world will be reduced to varying degrees, but this feeling of suppression will change slightly with upgrading. If the [Black Iron] level adds a thick layer of iron armor to suppress his abilities, then when the ability is upgraded to [Bronze], the layer of iron armor on his body seems to become a little lighter. Allowing him to exert some of his [Black Iron] level abilities.

Although it is still suppressed, at least it will not be as uncomfortable as before.

He closed his eyes and searched the memories in his mind.

Actions that he could easily complete with just a thought in the counter-world now seemed to be hung up with big locks, which greatly restricted his thinking ability. He had to patiently open the locks before he could do what he needed. Find out the things.

Fortunately, Colin has long been accustomed to the restrictions of the positive world when traveling between the two worlds.

Frowning, after spending nearly ten minutes searching for what he wanted in his mind, Colin's lips curved into a slight smile.

The world has grown bees. (The world changes because of me)

…

"Where's the boss?"

At the Courier newspaper office, Little John distributed a thick stack of letters from readers to the workers. He glanced at Colin's empty desk, and then asked Jacob beside him.

He hadn't seen Mr. Colin in the office for almost a week.

"storehouse."

Picking up a blue paintbrush and carefully coloring the Superman in the drawing, Jacob said without raising his head when Little John asked.

During this time, Colin suddenly became interested in the old rotary printing press left behind by the newspaper for some unknown reason.

With the purchase of color rotary printing presses, the newspaper's original black and white rotary printing presses were gradually phased out.

Originally, John Sr. planned to sell it, but during the Great Depression, selling things was much more difficult than buying things. Therefore, after several unsuccessful price negotiations, Old John gave up his intention to sell the runner and threw it into the corner of the warehouse.

Originally, this was a very common thing.

However, when Colin suddenly became interested in this machine, it became unusual.

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

Dongdongdong——

In front of the typesetting machine, Old John pressed the keys in sequence, and the sound of mechanical knocking could be heard from time to time in his ears.

This sound has been going on for almost a week. If it were anyone else, they would have already expressed their dissatisfaction. However, considering that the owner who caused the noise was his boss, the owner of the newspaper, Old John and the others could only suffer this trouble silently.

"So, what do you think the boss is going to do?"

Turning his head and listening to the clanging sound coming from the direction of the warehouse for a while, Little John couldn't help but ask Jacob.

"have no idea."

Turning the brush in his hand to add color to the Superman arm in the drawing, Jacob turned his head and glanced in the direction of the warehouse, then shrugged and replied.

"Maybe he wants to make something."

Although everyone in the newspaper office was curious about Colin's sudden behavior, they did not dare to disturb him.

"So, what could it be?"

Jacob's answer not only did not reduce Little John's inner curiosity, but actually made it a little bigger.

It's not that he secretly went to the warehouse to watch Colin's work. However, when he arrived at the warehouse before, he only saw the boss dismantling the rotary printing press. Looking at the parts all over the floor, if it were replaced by Little John I don't have the confidence to put them back together again.

In addition, later, after Old John found out, he was explicitly prohibited from disturbing the boss again.

Little John has not been to the warehouse since.

"Super robot, like in the Superman comics."

Hearing this, Jacob made a rare little joke.

However, the joke was obviously not funny at all, and even Little John didn't react much.

Seeing that his humor had no effect, Jacob shrugged and returned his attention to the work at hand. While using a red brush to outline the 'S' logo on Superman's chest, he said: " No matter what it is, you will eventually find out, unless..."

Unless manufacturing fails.

Jacob didn't say the rest of what he said. After all, if he failed, Colin would definitely not be in a good mood. He didn't want to be the one who got into trouble with his boss. Before, he had finally refused the 'holiday' given to him by his boss, just in case it made him unhappy again.

Jacob felt that he might be asked to take another vacation.

He likes his current job, especially since he has started serializing his new comics in Courier Comics. His life as a cartoonist has just begun.

"You have a point."

Nodding, Little John obviously accepted Jacob's reasons.

Sitting back in his seat, although his attention was still attracted by the sounds in the warehouse from time to time, under Old John's gaze, he still had to focus on the work in his hands.

During this time, with the broadcast of the CBS radio drama, Superman became even more popular.

It is said that even the replay of "The Adventures of Superman" ranked first in the radio broadcast time of the day. Readers and listeners' love for Superman is not limited to New York. Many cities where the radio drama was heard have set off a wave of " Superman hot'.

"Truth, Justid the Ameri Way! (Truth, justice and the American way!)"

This sentence has become a slogan spread by all Americans.

Even Roosevelt, the Democratic presidential candidate, used this sentence as part of his speech in public.

Although, Little John doesn't think there's anything good about the American way.

Did Hoover use a lot of American methods, but his American methods brought everyone the worst results.

So the key is not the American way, but the people who use it.

Superman is the real answer. If the American way in Superman's mouth is a good future, then Hoover is a bad reality.

Dangdang——

Courier Newspaper Agency, just when little John was thinking wildly.

The sound coming from the warehouse suddenly became a little quieter, and with the sound of the final mechanical bearings of the machine turning, it finally turned silent.

"The sound is gone, that is to say?"

The 'noise' that had lasted for a week suddenly disappeared, and everyone, including Little John, was not used to it.

Old John even seemed to be able to hear a vague knocking sound in his ears. He shook his head and realized that this was just his hallucination.

"It's over, or..."

The disappearance of the sound in the warehouse meant that Colin's transformation of the runner machine was over.

However, everyone in the newspaper office was not sure what the outcome of this renovation would be. With a bit of anxiety mixed with curiosity in their hearts, they set their sights in the direction of the newspaper office's warehouse.

Under the gaze of everyone, Colin's figure appeared there a few minutes later.

"Everyone, put down what you are doing, I have something to show you."

Wearing a simple overalls with suspenders and rolled up cuffs, Colin glanced at the people in the newspaper office and then spoke.
