Comic book heroes were my entry point to science fiction -- along with
the Star Trek series on TV. They led me to the classics. AND having
strong female characters visible (I remember the wall of comic books in
my neighborhood newstand that were dominated by images of men and war --
except Veronica & Betty, need I say more?) as a young girl I was drawn
towards these potentially feminist characters.
