――――――――――――――

When Mark Dujon stood under the AC Comics logo, he suddenly felt a little excited.

Although Frankie Miller agreed to be interviewed, and it was an exclusive interview, he only gave one-on-one interviews.

In order to win this opportunity, the magazine "Comic Frontier" almost got into a fight, and editors, reporters, and columnists wanted to use it to meet with Frankie Miller.

In the end, however, it was Mark Dujon who was lucky.

In addition to the strong support of editor-in-chief Donald Meeks, there is also a very important reason, the review he took out without hesitation when Frankie Miller was caught in the "plagiarism incident", which added a lot of points to him.

"Hello, are you Mr. Mark Dujon from Comic Frontier?"

A tall Chinese girl walked over and asked in a nice voice.

The girl's delicate face and just the right figure made Mark Duhon's eyes shine: "That's right, I am." ”

"Hello, I'm the CEO of AC Comics, Su Nan, welcome. Su Nan smiled and said, "Mr. Duhong, please follow me, Mr. Frankie Miller is already waiting for you." ”

Mark Dujon nodded and followed Sunan into AC Comics.

There are not many people in the company, and from the nature of the work, most of them belong to administrative positions, and basically do not engage in work related to manga creation.

This surprised Mark Dujon a little: "I didn't expect that it was such an obscure company that created "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Superman", no, in fact, it has nothing to do with the company, as long as Frank Miller is there, it will be successful." ”

While he was thinking like this, Su Nan was already standing outside an office door, knocked lightly on the door a few times, opened the door, and signaled that he could enter.

Marc Dujon was agitated again, and stood outside the door for a few seconds, taking a deep breath before stepping inside.

"You're Mr. Duhong, aren't you? ”

Mark Dujon saw a young Chinese man come out from behind his desk, and he stretched out his right hand from afar.

Huh, is Frank Miller the man he is so young in front of him?

Could it be Mr. Miller's assistant?

Mark Dujon didn't react for a while, but out of courtesy, he also reached out and shook Meng Qi's hand.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Frankie Miller here, I have an interview with him......"

Mark Dujon asked, a little confused.

"I'm Frankie Miller. Meng Qi smiled.

"Oh, sorry......"

Although he was mentally prepared, Mark Dujon was still a little surprised to hear Meng Qi say it himself.

The cartoonist who drew "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Superman" enough to go down in the history of American comics is actually such a frightening young Chinese person?

"Oh...... If Mr. Dujon doesn't believe me, I can show you the fourth issue of Superman that I'm drawing. ”

Meng Qi of course understood very well where Mark Dujon's suspicion came from, and in order to dispel the other party's concerns, and in order for the interview to go smoothly, he walked to the desk, picked up a few sketches, and handed them over.

Mark Dujon took the letter suspiciously, and after only one page, his hands began to tremble.

Who else made this painting and this plot except Frank Miller?

Once Meng Qi's identity was clarified, he immediately realized that what he was holding in his hand was actually the original manuscript of "Superman", and it was also an incomparably precious uncolored line draft!

Thinking of this, Mark Duhon's heart couldn't help but stir for the third time.

At this moment, he looks like a famous comic critic, but like a die-hard comic book fan who meets his idol.

"The plot of the opposite side must be kept secret, Mr. Du Hong, spoilers are the biggest sin ......"

Meng Qi half-jokingly reminded Mark Duhon.

"Of course, of course. Mark Dujon held the pages of the manuscript as if they were treasures, and carefully returned them to Meng Qi.

Meng Qi put the manuscript on the desk, led Mark Dujon to sit down on the sofa, and said, "I have any questions to ask, Mr. Mark, but before that, I have a small request, the report cannot say that I am from China." ”

"No problem. Thinking of his gaffe just now, Mark Dujon knew that if the news that Frankie Miller was a Chinese was reported, it would definitely cause a heated discussion.

Although it is said that as long as the comics are good, there is no need to care about what kind of person the cartoonist is, but "Superman" is too iconic, and the media at this time unanimously regards Superman as the representative of the spirit of the American Federation, and it is not wise to announce the fact that Frankie Miller is a Chinese at this time.

"But I have a question, how did Cartoonist Magazine know you're from China?" asked Mark Dujon before the interview began.

"I've been to Pacific Comics with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before, but unfortunately, they rejected my artwork...... Meng Qi replied with a shrug.

Mark Dujon let out a meaningful "oh", and quickly understood that the previous series of actions of Pacific Comics against Frankie Miller and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" may also have a revenge mentality in it, right?

"Can I include this in the interview?"

The information that Meng Qi just revealed is almost unknown, and if it can be exposed, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

"Absolutely. Meng Qi replied briskly, although Pacific Comics is now bankrupt, he still welcomes this kind of stick beating the water dogs.

Mark Dujon nodded, turned on the voice recorder, and pulled out the small notepad he had with him.

It was packed with questions he wanted to ask Frank Miller.

Following the outline, Mark Dujon asked a few questions, such as when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were finished and what inspired the character of Superman.

Meng Qi had long expected that these questions would arise, and he answered them with pre-conceived rhetoric, which seemed quite official.

Of course, Meng Qi also knows very well that as a magazine, what needs to be reported in order to increase sales and exposure, so he will also deliberately reveal some information in his words, which is enough to make Mark Dujon's interview very wonderful.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Miller. ”

The interview, which lasted for an hour and a half, was very rewarding for Marc Dujon, and after asking the last question, he sincerely thanked Meng Qi.

"It's not a big deal, I've been drawing comics almost all the time and haven't had much rest, so I want to thank you, Mr. Duhon, for giving my brain enough time to rest. ”

Monch's humility added a little to Marc Duhon's favorability and respect for him.

However, although Meng Qi said this, and Mark Dujon also knew that he should not stay for a long time after his interview was completed, he still asked the last question: "Mr. Miller, as a fan of Superman, I would like to ask a question for myself, will the comic book "Superman" be a super long story like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"?"

"What do you think, Mr. Duhong?"

Meng Qi looked at Du Hong with a meaningful smile.
