January 2, 1989.The first meeting of the day ended in a perfect cooperation agreemeweewo parties. The one is for better or for worse, the highlight of the day. The purchase of a superhero from Charlton ics didn't initially ihomas, as he wasn't particurly ied in the bidding war until his young Billy mentiohe potential of Captain Atom and the possible profit from the character.

  -Do you think it'll be that easy with Mr. Mike? - Billy asked.

  -I doubt it. These people are still willing to fork over some dolrs for their characters. Almost a year ago, they sold Blue Beetle to D.ics for 50,000. - Thomas expined.

  -Why didn't they sell Captain Atom along with Blue Beetle? - Billy inquired.

  -That I don't know. But Mr. Joe Gill, the creator and the ohorized to sell the franchise by his former boss, is likely looking for a substantial ission. He might be sent to us to evoke that sense of nostalgia. - Thomas mumbled.

  In the following years, the world would transition from an era dominated by big movie stars to one defined by major franchises. Marvel, for example, would break box office records and shake up the eai industry. In the meantime, eai was rgely shaped by hit television series and streaming ptforms like flix.

  For a moment, Thomas paused to questioher his pn with Captain Atom would yield the expected results. It felt like a leap of faith, supported by the fame of his copied works and his incredible system that helped infuse emotions into manga, all while enhang his skills. Ultimately, the partnership with Dark Horse ics would help create a more stable tinuity lio gee a strong foothold.

  In essence, most successes stem from a reimagined brand that resonates with a key fan base and appeals to different fans through your drawings.

  How do you create a good superhero? – Perhaps the question is how to create a pelling character. my new designs for Captain Atom offer the right bao break into the superhero market? With improved character designs, which I've hohrough studying cartoons with better perspectives, updates in the movements of each character, creative panels, and the new visual structure model.

  -Dad, what's the maximum amount we're willing to pay for Captain Atom? - Billy asked.

  -Approximately 20,000. Even if they demand a price above that, I 't go beyond that amount. - Thomas replied promptly.

  -How famous is this character? - Billy inquired.

  -Not very famous, it mostly sold about 10,000 copies across all the collected volumes, which are nearly 16 volumes. Charlton ics hasn't sold much sihe early '80s, but the co-creator has also been involved in different ics like Spider-Man. - Thomas expined.

  -Let me hahe iation. - Thomas said.

  -You're the wyer, Dad. I trust you with the iation. – Billy ented

  Surprisingly, most of the iations Billy has attended or witnessed are held in cafes or private dining rooms. What's on is that nobody orders food during the iation. Is it a symbol of trust? Is it sidered impolite?

  -Good afternoon, Mr. Gill, a pleasure to see you today. - Thomas said.

  -Likewise. - Gill replied. He looked deadly serious with his well-groomed white mustache and furrowed eyebrows.

  -Let's get straight to the point. I'm willing to offer you a cht assig for Captain Atom for 70 years for a value of 18,000. - Gill stated peremptorily.

  -We could do it for 17,000. - Thomas responded.

  -Done. - Gill said so quickly that it caught Billy off guard.

  Thomas produced a tra legal-size paper. Billy's father read the tract out loud and discussed some legal terms with Mr. Gill regarding the rights to exploit the work, along with other random terms.

  With a 3% share of cht profits for Captain Atom, they paved the way for a new IP for the development of Lux Animation, which was gradually taking shape.

  In summary, they iated that the work could be modified, and new creations would be ted as a derivative work of the authorship itself. It was disappointing that the iation didn't st more than five minutes, and the other party's disappoi giving away their work so easily, but perhaps they had hoped to scratch up more than the proposed 15,000.

  In summary, they established an animation pany, "Lux ics," bought an industrial ic mae, rented a small warehouse, expahe garage, and acquired Captain Atom.

  Expenses amouo a total of 70,000. sidering Billy's two years of savings, they only added up to 5,570, after refusing birthday and Christmas gifts, w by mowing wns, and doing school chores for two dolrs.

  The following portions came as a gift from the grandfather, amounting to 1,000 for my pany. The rest was covered by Thomas's total savings and a 20,000 bank loan, with the uanding that only hard work in the ing months would recoup the iment.
