American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

The next few weeks.

With the serialization of Superman comics in "The Breds".

The sales of newspapers have begun to show a rising upward trend. According to the situation that Tong Jimmy feedback, people in the entire block are discussing the topic of Superman.

At the same time, the fan letter also ended into the messenger newspaper that poured into the corner of the street.

Most of these are expressing their love for the role of Superman, discuss the comic plot, while not forgetting to urge the "Merchants" to accelerate the serialization of the follow -up comic content.

Among them, a small part was unexpectedly praised by the portrait of the female reporter Louis in the comics.

"... I think Louis Lane is a symbol of modern professional women. She is independent, brave, strong, talented, and does not lose to any male -her relationship between her and Clark is also a sexual competition.

It's slightly awesome ... "

During this period of serial comics, women's characters are not prominent. Even if it is a serial comic adapted from the novels of the same name like "Human Ape Taishan", the protagonist of the story also focuses on Taishan. Female characters are often used in the comic story.

The image of the image is used to set off the strength or charm of the actor.

This is even more prominent in the current mainstream detective comics.

And this situation has changed in the Superman comics serialized by the Merchants.

In the comics of "Superman", Superman Clark still exists with absolute protagonist. With his strong superpower punishment and punish, he helps the victims.

The pure vase character, but as a colleague of Clark to compete with him in his work.

Such a setting, in the era of general protagonists in later generations, maybe it is just a rare arrangement.

Even some extremists will express strong dissatisfaction with this.

However, it is now the Great Depression in 1931. The emergence of women's independent characters, especially in comics, is still quite rare. Therefore, the existence of beautiful female reporters in the "Superman" comics not only become the existence of Louisi, not only becoming the existence of "

Women in the fantasy of young people are also the existence that girls yearn for.

They also want to be a professional woman who is like Louise.

"Boss, readers serialize the comics of" Superman ", the response is enthusiastic ..."

In the credit newspaper, John John sorted out the reader's letter, and said excitedly in the content of the letter.

In the past, for a local tabloid that is not well -known such a reputation, it may not be possible to receive a few readers' letters in the end of the year.

Fan letters, and listening to the meaning of the delivery staff, this is not all.

【Belief (868/1000)】

Watch the [belief] points shown in the text.

Obviously, Collin's decision to serve the comics on the "Breds" is successful.

In fact, with the popularity of "Superman", the content published on the newspaper layout has gradually become a series of comics from the "criticism" of Hoover.

It is a newspaper media, not a comic publication, and the content of the basic news report needs to be maintained for readers to understand the information.

The two of the old John and John almost switch to the comic editor.

Nympho

"Boss, the current printing of the newspaper can no longer keep up with the needs of the newspaper ..."

Today, the sales volume of the "Merchants" should not be in short supply.

The only thing that restricted newspapers increased is the printing volume of the newspaper itself.

At present, the rotation printing machine used by the messenger newspapers is still the old style of the past. The number of newspapers printing is more than enough for the original newspaper, but it has long been unable to supply the sales of the "Credit News" that is more and more popular today.

Especially on this weekend, the new comic plot of "Superman" created by Collin was serialized by the reader after being serialized in the "Breds". The reader's response was enthusiastic.

This allows Lao John to understand. This is a good opportunity for a thousand years.

"Maybe, can we try to add a new carrier printing machine to the newspaper?"

The suggestions made by John coincided with the idea of ​​Collin's heart.

To speed up the acquisition of [Belief], increasing the printing scale of the newspaper is obviously a good choice.

However, considering that the price of the rotor printing machine is not cheap, Collin hesitant.

During this time, as the sales of the "Merchants" increased, he did have some money in his hands, but these are far from being enough to pay a rotary printing machine.

"If you are worried about the price of the printing machine, I may have a way ... can help you."

Before noticing the hesitation on the face of Collyl, the old John pushed the brass glasses on the bridge of the nose and said.

"I know a bankrupt newspaper worker. Their boss cannot pay wages because of bankruptcy. He can only mortgage the machine's machine to workers ..."

In this era, there are a few newspapers like the Better Book.

Most of the tabloids have fallen into the end of the departure bankruptcy because of the impact of the Great Depression.

"... I can contact those workers and propose to acquire the machines in their newspaper at a low price."

For those unemployed newspaper workers, the machine has no use in their hands.

But for the messenger newspapers, these mortgaged idle machines are important treasures.

"Contact those workers, once the price is appropriate, buy the machines of the newspaper."

Nodded, Collin didn't say much, but said straightforwardly.

Immediately afterwards, he thought about it again: "In addition, after the machine is in place, the publishing date of the" Credit News "must be changed. In addition to the original weekend newspapers, I decided

"Superman" comics attract readers. "

"Special issue on Wednesday?"

Hearing the Collin instructions, the old John and John in the newspaper looked at each other.

This decision of Collin is undoubtedly very bold.

It is equivalent to adding a new journal.

However, considering the popularity of the "Superman" comics, the two do not think that the newly added journal will have the risk of failure.

However, looking up at the Collin in front of him, the old John was worried about whether this serialization method would affect the quality of the "Superman" comics.

If, let Collin know that John's inner thought at this moment will definitely laugh.

If you want to say it, he is the one in this world, the person who does not need to worry about the quality of the comics.

After all, behind him, there are more than half a century of "Superman" comics for choice.
