Mei Man: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Chapter 75 Superman vs. Parasitic Demon

Fortunately.

What they feared did not happen.

After reminding the people behind him, the passengers who bought the new issue of "The Courier" turned around and continued to look at the serialized content in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, as he flipped through the newspaper.

The few passengers behind him finally saw the follow-up plot of "Superman".

"Heat vision!"

When I saw the end of the comic, two blazing flames shot out from Superman's eyes, defeating the parasitic demon.

Even at the very beginning, the passengers who thought that the parasitic demon had the ability to fight against superhuman couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

Limited by the black-and-white printing of newspapers, Superman's first thermal vision in the comics is represented by only two light gray burning lines.

However, it is such a crude picture.

But it gave readers a huge sense of shock, especially in the plot on the previous page of the newspaper, Superman fell into weakness because part of his power was absorbed by the parasitic demon.

Readers who saw this scene were worried about the safety of Superman, and marveled at the power and terror of the parasitic demon.

Who would have thought, the next page.

Superman once again showed his powerful strength, his eyes emitted terrible flames, and wiped out the terrible enemy of the parasite in one fell swoop.

The plot that happened in just tens of seconds is more exciting than riding a roller coaster for readers.

Many people couldn't help but make excited voices, cheering for the story of Superman turning defeat into victory.

……

New York, Brooklyn.

"It's me! It's me!"

"The parasitic demon I designed was serialized in the "Superman" comics!"

Mike looked at the "Messenger", the villain Parasite that appeared in the latest serial "Superman" comics, and shouted excitedly.

As a loyal fan of the "Superman" comics, the first time I learned about the interaction with the readers of "Messenger Comics".

Mike cut out the content of the last page of the comic and participated in the event.

It's just that even Mike himself has no hope for the outcome of the interaction.

After all, as a fan, Mike is more aware of Superman's popularity than most people. In order to be able to buy the second issue of "Messenger Comics", he searched four or five newsstands before buying it from the boss. The last Courier Comics.

"I will treasure this edition of the Courier!"

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Mike murmured.

"Mike Cizek, here's your letter!"

At this moment, the postman's shout suddenly came from outside the door.

Mike poked his head and saw that a postman in a dark green uniform delivered a letter to his mailbox at the door, and then rode his bicycle to continue walking to the door of the next house.

"Who sent it?"

With some doubts in his mind, Mike muttered something, carefully put away the latest issue of "The Courier", and then went out with doubts and took out the letter from the letter box.

Courier newspaper!

Looking at the mailing address marked on the envelope, Mike's breathing suddenly became a little short.

Is it? !
He took a deep breath, tried hard to control the excitement in his heart, carefully opened the envelope with trembling hands, and took out the letter inside.

"Mr. Mike Cizek, thank you for your participation in this "Messenger Comics" reader interactive activity. Here, the newspaper office sincerely congratulates you on the character you designed—Parasite, which will be featured in the latest issue of "Messenger" Appeared in the serial comic "Superman"..."

In the letter from the Messenger newspaper, Mike was first informed of the fact that the character he designed was selected by the newspaper to be serialized.

I already know.

In this regard, Mike's expression did not change much. After all, he had already known the result from the serial comics of the "Messenger" before he sent the letter.

"...Of course, in addition to thanking you for your participation, the newspaper office has also prepared a gift, which will be given to you as a prize for winning the reader interaction..."

Looking down the content of the letter, the expression on Mike's face gradually changed.

prize?

"...Mr. Colin Luper, the owner of the Messenger newspaper and the author of the "Superman" comics, personally created a single-page comic about Superman vs. Parasite. I hope you like it."

Seeing the message on the letter, Mike quickly opened the envelope in his hand.

Sure enough, in addition to the letter he saw, there was also a single-page comic lying quietly inside.

Pulling out this page of comics, Mike held his breath and opened it carefully.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a scene of Superman fighting with the parasite. In the comics, Superman swung his fist and hit the parasite's head fiercely. The latter had a big mouth and a pink and violet face showing a painful expression. , seems unable to bear the powerful blow of Superman.

That's right, this page of comics given to Mike by the Courier newspaper not only vividly depicts the scene of the battle between Superman and the parasitic demon.At the same time, it also added color to it. In other words, this page of comics in Mike's hands is also the first time the villain, the parasitic demon, has colored the comics.

At the same time, in the lower right corner of the comic, there is even Colin's autograph.

Represents this page of comics, made by himself.

Looking at the page of comics in his hand, Mike could hardly describe his excitement at the moment with words.

"This is my superman and parasite!"

Use great perseverance to control your inner emotions.

At the same time, Mike made a decision in his mind that he must keep this page of comics well.

It's just that Mike at this time would never think of it.

The value of the comics created by Ke Lin on this page in his hand will exceed his imagination one day in the future.
