"I have been on the other side at Dynamite," she recalls. She also has learned how serious a role comic characters play in society, "Our comic books are morality tales," she says. In a world low on heroes, they survive. They're part of our mythology — like Greek gods. When you see a Superman movie, there's this sense of exhilaration — our hearts go out to him." Kahn's heart went out to Christopher Reeve, who por- trayed the Man of Steel with a heart of gold on the screen. "I loved the first two 'Superman' movies," she says.

Kahn maintains friendships with some of those early fans. One of them became a pub- lished novelist." She's talking about Meg Wolitzer, whose book Sleepwalking, proved a popular attraction. "Do you know what she told me? She said that when she was 11, she had this fantasy that someday, she'd be able to
