American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

In the next few days, Colin continued to serialize the "Superman" comics while shuttling between the positive and negative worlds.

He tried to unlock more new abilities while quietly adapting to [Super Strength].

[Super Strength]

As the earliest ability serialized by Colin in the comics.

In later generations, under the overwhelming baptism of various superhero comic themes, this ability almost became a common ability. Even in many comic stories, both the positive superheroes and the evil super villains have this ability.

However, the commonness of the ability does not mean that [Super Strength] is not good.

On the contrary, it is precisely because the ability of [Super Strength] is so easy to use that it can best show the superhuman side of the character.

The creators of comics will tirelessly add it to the characters they write.

This feeling of being able to lift a car easily is really fascinating.

After a few days, Colin has basically adapted to his new ability and will no longer destroy things around him uncontrollably like when he first got the ability.

In the past few days, he has been trying very hard to conceal the abnormality of his ability.

He almost exposed it in front of the cameraman.

The complex situation in the anti-world made Colin alert, so he did not want to expose his specialness too early before he had enough self-protection ability.

Similarly, he did not want to rely on his [super power] to do justice and become a superhero.

Even in the positive world.

The "Superman" character he created has become a symbol of superheroes in the minds of readers.

...

"Acquisition?"

In the positive world, in the Messenger newspaper.

Colin looked at the middle-aged man who came uninvited in front of him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"That's right."

Nodding, the man looked at the crowded space of the Courier, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, turned his head to look at Colin in front of him and said in a condescending tone: "In fact, the conditions I proposed are already a great concession for a tabloid like the Courier... The price of two hundred thousand dollars is enough to buy ten tabloids like the Courier at this time..."

"And according to the latest statistics, the sales volume of the Courier is only about 23,000 copies, not even a fraction of the World Journal."

As the man said, the daily circulation of the World Journal exceeds one million, which can be said to be one of the most circulated newspapers in New York during this period.

Obviously, a large newspaper with a daily circulation of one million.

It is impossible to take action against a tabloid like the Courier for no reason.

Therefore, there is only one reason for the World Journal to take action.

"So, your goal is Superman?"

Faced with Colin's doubts, the man who was purchasing on behalf of the World Journal obviously disdained to lie. He nodded and immediately admitted: "There is no doubt that the only thing in the entire Courier that the World Journal is interested in is the serialized comics of Superman."

For the potential of Superman, not only readers are aware of it, but the newspaper also sees it.

Following the serialization of the comics, the sales of the Courier have been rising. Although it is still not worth mentioning compared to big newspapers like the World Journal, the meaning behind it is undoubtedly exciting for the World Journal.

After all, the bigger the newspaper industry, the more it values ​​the sales of newspapers.

Since Superman can increase the sales of the Courier from the original thousands to 20,000 shares, then if it is published in the World Journal with a larger circulation and a wider readership, can it attract more readers and increase the sales of the newspaper even more?

Not to mention, the World Journal can use some of the peripheral income from the Superman comics.

It is for this reason that the World Journal will make a move to acquire the Courier Newspaper under Colin.

Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to refuse the acquisition proposed by a big newspaper like the World Journal.

Although, as a negotiating party, the World Journal's attitude is a bit arrogant.

But this does not affect the temptation of their conditions.

At least, in the Courier Newspaper, after listening to the conditions proposed by the World Journal, John Sr. and John Jr. have already shown obvious excitement on their faces.

Once Colin agrees to the other party's acquisition.

They will also receive a substantial severance pay, and even have the opportunity to work in the branch of the World Journal.

"Sorry."

"I have no intention of selling the Courier at the moment."

Withdrawing his eyes from John Sr. and his son, Colin decisively rejected the acquisition of the World Journal.

As the creator of comics, he knows the value of Superman better than anyone else in the world.

Not to mention, the ability of the [Black Iron Mark] needs Colin to continue to serialize the comics to unlock it.

Once "Superman" falls into the hands of the "World Journal", how can he guarantee that the other party will serialize the comics according to his wishes? More importantly, Colin cannot guarantee that if "Superman" is serialized in the "World Journal", the readers he gains will become [beliefs] like the "Courier".

It is precisely because of these concerns that Colin will refuse the "World Journal".

Of course, it is undeniable.

The arrogant attitude that the other party had shown since he entered the newspaper office made him unhappy.

"Um?!"

Colin's answer of refusal was obviously not within the expectations of World Journal.

"Are you sure you have thought it through, Mr. Colin Looper?"

The middle-aged man in charge of the acquisition looked at him and reconfirmed, as if he didn't quite believe what he heard.

"Do you understand what you are doing now?"

"I think I've made it very clear."

Facing the man's question, Colin replied calmly.

"The Courier is in good operating condition, and I have no intention of selling the newspaper. So, I'm sorry, sir, that your trip was in vain."

After hearing what Colin said, the expression on the man's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"You don't know what you're missing!"

He stood up, picked up the hat on the table and put it on his head again. The other person looked down at Colin in front of him and said with obvious threats in his tone.

"Before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, you have one last chance to regret, Mr. Colin Looper, otherwise the Courier will be prepared to close its doors. You must know that the Courier is not the only one in the world. "A newspaper draws so-called superhero comics..."
