Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 35 New Serialization

"Boss, maybe you should go back and take a rest..."

At the Messenger newspaper, Old John swept the coffee on the table and reminded Colin.

For several days in a row, Ke Lin could be seen busy in the newspaper office, which put a lot of pressure on the two employees of the newspaper office.

For this reason, Old John persuaded: "The next work, just leave it to us."

"How long is it until the release date."

Yawning and gulping down the coffee in his cup, Colin asked Old John.

It's not that he doesn't want to go back to rest, but because once he closes his eyes and falls asleep, Colin's consciousness may be pulled back to the dimension of another world, facing Ultron's pursuit.

"The general typesetting has been determined. Only by arranging the final part of the follow-up, can it be printed directly with a printing machine."

Seeing Colin's resolute attitude, Old John couldn't say anything more, so he could only silently fill up the empty coffee in front of him and reply.

"Hurry up, I hope to see the new issue of the newspaper before I leave work today."

Hearing that the typesetting of the newspaper was basically completed, Colin finally let go of his tense heart.

He blinked his red eyes from staying up late for a long time, lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, while not forgetting to urge Old John.

"No problem." The boss ordered, and as a worker, Old John naturally had no right to refuse, so he nodded immediately.

……

In the evening, the flow of people on the street gradually increased.

On the streets of New York, well-dressed vendors in neat suits and neat ties can be seen everywhere, and the products they sell are also surprisingly consistent—apples.

During the Great Depression, all walks of life suffered heavy losses, but the Apple industry has ushered in a bumper harvest in recent years.In order to be able to sell these surplus apples, the Apple Transportation Association came up with a way, that is, let Apple companies pack apples into wooden boxes of the same size, and then send them to the unemployed in New York and other cities.

These apple sellers would take to the streets and sell their apples for the highest possible price.

Finally, at the end of the day, pay Apple another $1.75 per case.

This method was very effective in the early days, and it helped Apple solve the problem of overproduction. At the same time, it also brought some inner comfort and dignity to thousands of unemployed people in New York City-by selling apples, Not begging, let these unemployed feel that they still seem to be in control of their own destiny.

For a while, the man selling apples became a beautiful sight on the streets of New York City.

However, this 'prosperity' did not last long. After a brief period of brilliance, Apple's sales began to decline.

The increase in the cost of apples and the increase in apple vendors have seriously affected the local traffic law and order. Citizens are throwing leftover apple cores everywhere. Cities like Washington, D.C. have even publicly banned the sale of apples on the streets. , also known as the city's public hazards.

At the same time, the higher and higher payment costs have also caused many unemployed people to be unable to afford this job.

Perhaps, it won't be long before these vendors selling apples on the streets of New York will withdraw from the stage of history.

Buy an apple from a street vendor for 5 cents.

Tasting the crisp and sweet apple in his hand, Colin thought silently.

After eating the apples in two or three bites, he yawned, shook his head to suppress the drowsiness in his mind, scanned the ink-smelling newspaper that had just been printed under his arm, and said to himself.

"Just one more night."

……

"Is that a bird? Is that a plane? That's Superman! (That's a bird? That's an airplane? That's—Superman!)"

The next morning.

Newsboys shouted loud slogans, waved the latest issue of "Courier", and appeared in the streets and alleys of New York City.

"Give me a newspaper!"

Seeing the frail figures of these newsboys, the impatient readers stopped them with a loud voice.

Putting the change into the hands of the newsboy, he grabbed a copy of "The Courier" and opened it. The man's eyes were quickly attracted by the "Superman" comics serialized in the newspaper.

"Good reading, sir."

Carefully putting the change in his hand into his pocket, the newsboy looked up at the mesmerizing readers in front of him and said.

However, the other party was obviously immersed in the story of the comics, and did not respond to the newsboy.

In the latest serialization of "Superman", a total of two super villains have appeared.

The former is the prank king Little John once saw in Colin’s original manuscript. His unconstrained and childish crime process really made readers amazed. Of course, the end of this comic still ends with the victory of Superman, justice defeats evil , and sent the prank king and all his subordinates to prison.

And with the King of Pranksters being sent to jail, Metropolis isn't calming down.

The evil Luthor appeared again. He stole the weapon secretly developed by the U.S. military and wanted to cause a major earthquake. Superman stopped him in time and destroyed the weapon. Luthor, who was furious, launched a special super cannon to kill Superman, but Unexpectedly, it was blocked by Superman's powerful defense.

Next, the escaped Luthor did not give up. He sank a city and created prehistoric monsters in an attempt to control the world through these resurrected dinosaurs. Ser was killed by a dinosaur of his own making.

"Prankster, this guy has something interesting."

"With so much money, why can't I meet people who give me money?"

"I knew how an evil genius like Luther could die so easily!"

"It's too powerful, Superman is simply too powerful, even the super artillery can't hurt him at all..."

"What Luther died again!"

This weekend's "Courier" has a total of four serialized stories about "Superman".

However, no matter how carefully the man reads it, he has already read all the contents of the newspaper in half an hour, flipping through the newspaper in his hand, trying to find some parts that he has not read, and finally He reluctantly put down the newspaper in his hand.

A few minutes later, I re-opened the newspaper unwillingly, thinking about it.

Readers like men are not uncommon in New York.

The influence of "Superman" is gradually spreading.

……

[Ability - super defensive power (black iron)]

[Ability description: Ordinary bullets can no longer cause damage to Superman, even artillery. Only powerful special military weapons can penetrate his skin. 】

"Finally unlocked."

At the same time, Ke Lin in the Messenger newspaper looked at the latest content unlocked on the [Black Iron Mark].

Finally unable to bear the strong drowsiness emerging from his body, he closed his eyes.
