Chapter 113 The mysterious man appears

With the abilities Colin has now unlocked.

If he wanted to, he could create a sufficient number of "Superman" plots in a short period of time.

The reason why is to leave it to Jacob to complete.

The main purpose is to cultivate each other's abilities, especially in comic creation.

After all, when Colin invited him to join "Messenger Comics", it was not just to find a colorist and background artist for him. The inspiration and creativity that Jacob showed in the comics were the key to his hiring him.

.

Although, the current serial content of "Messenger Comics" is still mainly based on the plot of "Superman".

However, Colin had already had the idea of ​​developing it independently.

After all, the name of this publication is "Messenger Comics" rather than "Superman Comics". Blindly printing comic stories of "Superman" can certainly increase the sales of comics, but it also limits the publication itself. Superheroes are never a one-man show.

Alone, what behind "Messenger Comics" represents is not just the comic book "Superman".

Whether it is for the development of "Messenger Comics" or for Colin himself, more superheroes need to be developed.

After all, even Disney is working hard to create new animated characters.

Later, the character of Donald Duck was even more popular than Mickey, the symbol of Disney.

…

"Then, I'll leave the affairs of the newspaper office to everyone here. I'm sorry to bother you, Old John."

"Don't worry, boss, I will take care of everything."

In the newspaper office, after explaining the follow-up work.

Colin went home without stopping to prepare for his trip to Los Angeles.

With old employees like Old John here, he is not worried about any problems that may arise in the newspaper society.

After all, he was only going to Los Angeles for a few days.

"Jacob..."

Watching Colin's back disappear at the intersection, Little John breathed a sigh of relief, and then came to Jacob eagerly.

"Be careful, don't get it dirty. I'll be coloring the original later."

Looking at his expectant eyes, Jacob handed over the "Superman" drawing in his hand, while not forgetting to remind him.

"Don't worry, I promise there won't be any problems."

After carefully placing the drawing in Jacob's hand, Little John looked at the latest serial contents, a hint of excitement flashed across his dull face.

It's rare to have the opportunity to read several issues of comics in a row.

In the past, he would witness the plot of "Superman" at most one day in advance.

In the few serial issues left by Colin, the King of Pranks appeared again. This maverick villain made Little John exclaim as soon as he appeared on the stage.

Seeing the excited expression on his face, Jacob immediately became nervous and stared at the drawing in his hand without blinking.

He was deeply afraid that the other party would get excited and cause an accident. It didn't matter that Little John was injured. What happened to the "Superman" sketch in his hand was the big problem. This concerned the subsequent serialization of the newspaper.

Fortunately, what Jacob was worried about did not happen. Although Little John was excited, he also understood the importance of the comics in his hands. Next, under his fearful gaze, Little John was completely devoted to the comics.

In the plot.

In this comic, the King of Pranksters once again shows his cunning side.

Through a series of legal means, the villain actually defrauded the right to use English, and then levied taxes on everyone who used English. Even the "Courier Journal" where Superman worked was affected and had to pay a large sum of money.

Taxes, because this is the right to use that was defrauded by the King of Pranksters through legal means, and even Superman can't do anything about it.

Even Superman, who appeared, had to pay taxes and defeat him while talking to the King of Pranksters.

“Right to use English?!”

"The King of Pranksters is simply a criminal genius. Even Superman can't stop his crimes."

Seeing the plot in the comics where Superman is helpless, Little John lamented the novelty and weirdness of the Prank King's crime, but on the other hand he was a little worried about how Superman could solve the Prank King's crime. He even made associations with this plot.

.

Is the right to use English really as mentioned in the comics? There are loopholes. If in real life, some people use this method to obtain the right to use English, then wouldn't all of them have to be like

Like the citizens of the metropolis, pay taxes.

In the comics, the entire metropolis fell into chaos due to the crime committed by the King of Pranksters.

The Courier Journal is about to go bankrupt because it cannot pay its high taxes.

Lois and Superman were about to lose their jobs. At this time of helplessness, Superman used his super speed to investigate the application procedures of the Prank King. He read through all the Prank King's applications in just a few seconds and...

In the end, a loophole in the other party's legal procedures was discovered.

With this loophole, it was determined that the prankster's method of defrauding the right to use English was illegal. Superman was able to reverse the situation, save the troubled Metropolis, and at the same time save his job at the Courier Daily.

"Almost, the King of Pranksters is really a formidable opponent."

"Super speed is a really useful ability. If I also have this ability, I can complete the work of the entire newspaper office by myself..."

"He is indeed Superman. Even a guy like the King of Pranksters is no match for him."

When he saw at the back of the comic that the King of Pranksters had lost the right to use English due to the announcement of Superman, Little John, who had been holding his breath, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

He sighed while turning over the drawings in his hands.

Editor: "Kent, the front page news I've received recently has been so bland that I even started piecing together the headlines. I heard that a mysterious man appears in Gotham City. Get your camera. I need more reports about this mysterious man.

Photos, if you can capture proof of the other party’s crime, that would be even better.”

In the serialization on the next page, Superman was assigned a job by the editor, asking him to go to a city called Gotham City to report a news about a mysterious man.

"Gotham City, You-Know-Who?"

"A new supervillain?"

Looking at the conversation between the editor and Superman in the comic, Little John subconsciously regarded the mysterious man as a new criminal.
