Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 41 Publishers

In the room, Colin waited until his physical condition improved.

Only then did I start to think about the few words I just heard through [Super Listening].

As he had expected, Howard and the others did not trust him [-]%.

Colin was not surprised by this.

After all, as Nick Fury has revealed in Taxi before, they need to hide their tracks.

It can be seen from this that the identities of Howard and others in the anti-world are not well known.

It even formed two opposing parties with the Thunder Special Agents and even Hydera he had encountered before.

And it can be seen from the identity of the "registered hero" of the Thunderbolt team members that in this confrontational battle, the Dark Avengers led by Howard are obviously on the weak side.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they showed such a cautious attitude and launched an investigation into Colin's identity.

Just like Colin used [Super Hearing] to listen to Howard and the others.

So, we're even.

Silently adding something in his heart, Colin set his eyes on the words in his eyes.

[Bronze Mark (11/100)]

【Faith (914/10000)】

Although, the process of his joining the Resistance had some unexpected elements.

But just from the acquisition of [Time Shards], this result is not bad.

Especially when it is clear that the acquisition of [Time Shards] is also related to the degree of intersection of objects with [Distorted Time Nodes].This also means that whether Colin himself is willing or not, if he wants to obtain more [Time Fragments], then the intersection with Howard and the others is an inevitable fact.

Unless, Ke Lin gave up obtaining [Time Shards] again, and made a plan to stay at the level of [Black Iron Mark] for the rest of his life.

So, in fact, all this is doomed.

Silently complaining in his heart, Colin accepted his current situation.

Feeling that the influence of [Super Hearing] on the body has disappeared, he closed his eyes, let go of his thoughts, and entered the positive world.

……

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

"Hang on, honey, you'll only be able to eat when the soup kitchen opens."

"Mom, why don't you come with me? Every time you just send me to the door and don't go in with me?"

"..."

"Because mom is not hungry..."

Right in the world, inside the Messenger newspaper office.

Ke Lin rubbed his temples and put away the [Super Hearing].

As he had guessed, once he returned to the real world, a sense of oppression would follow.

【Super Hearing】The original ability to hear the sounds of anything and places within ten kilometers has been compressed to only hear the sounds of the streets near the newspaper office, and it is no longer like the anti-world, where all the sounds of everything are heard. covered in it.

Therefore, this can no longer be called [Super Hearing], it can only barely be regarded as 'good hearing'.

Of course, such suppression is not entirely without benefits.

At least, in the positive world, when Colin uses the ability of [Super Hearing], he will no longer be as painful as when he was in the base.

After all, as the ability weakens, the side effects will naturally become minimal.

"Maybe, I should try, and after unlocking the ability, I will first train and adapt in the positive world..."

In the newspaper office, Ke Lin was thinking silently.

The tuk tuk knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and at the same time attracted old John who was busy working in front of the typesetting machine.

"Please come in."

Concentrating his thoughts, Colin shouted towards the door.

Immediately afterwards, the half-closed door of the newspaper office was pushed open, and a man wearing a dark brown over-the-knee windbreaker and a cap with two obvious nasolabial folds on both sides of his cheeks walked in.

"Good morning, may I ask who you are?"

Seeing this figure appearing in the newspaper office, Colin frowned slightly, then stood up from behind the desk and said.

"Good morning, Mr. Colin Looper, please forgive my presumptuous visit. I am Piero Siegel, the editor of "Famous Funnies". The issue of the "Superman" comics serialized in "..."

Taking off the peaked cap on his head, the man who called himself an editor introduced himself to Colin.

""Famous Comics"?"

Hearing the man's introduction, Colin whispered something in his mouth, with a puzzled look on his face.

To be honest, he didn't have the slightest impression of this so-called "Famous Comic Book". He turned his head and cast a questioning look at Old John in front of the typesetting machine. The other party also shook his head slightly, obviously not familiar with the name.

"Sorry, what is "Famous Comics"?"

Seeing this, Colin had no choice but to speak, and asked Piero in front of him apologetically.

"Mr. Colin Luper, don't be sorry, in fact, our "Famous Comics" is still only in the founding stage, and the publishing house does not have any magazines and books on sale, so it is normal that you have not heard of our name matter……"

After talking about feelings for a long time, "Famous Comics" has not even been printed?

After listening to the man's explanation, Colin was a little speechless.

However, before he opened his mouth to see off the guests, Piero had already explained the purpose of his trip.

"Although "Famous Comics" is only in the preparatory stage at present, just like the name of this magazine, the purpose of our creation of the magazine is to provide readers with a comic magazine that can be read from beginning to end. And It’s not like it is now, where every reader who likes comics has to buy several or even a dozen newspapers in order to be able to finish reading the comics he likes.”

Comics in this era are generally serialized in the form of newspapers.

There are no professional comic magazines.

And Piero, or the publishing house behind him, seems to have seen this, and intends to collect and sort out these comics and re-publish them as magazines.

These comic works can be serialized in newspapers for a long time, so they naturally have an audience.

The method of "Famous Comics" is to collect and publish these mature comics that have been tested by the market, which not only saves the risk of creating comics by oneself, but also relies on the attractiveness of these comics to attract readers. "Famous Comics" increases fame.

It can be said that it is a good thing that serves multiple purposes.

And for those cartoonists, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to have one more channel to make money.

"In fact, the author of "Dick Tracy" has promised us that he will serialize the reprint of the comics in the first issue of "Famous Comics". Not only the author of "Dick Tracy", but many For the serialized comics, "Famous Comics" has contact."
