You and Terry are good guys!

I won't ask for dirt but I got the impression Kahn like Shooter was at least trying to improve conditions in the industry

She was great, did a lot for working conditions and was the best cheerleader for comics as well as creators. Can’t say enough good things about Jenette Kahn and her time running DC.

I'm biased because in elementary school I was an avid subscriber to Dynamite Magazine which she edited for Scholastic. Later I went to college with her nephew but didn't know it at the time.

Most people know what aglets are because of The Question; I know because Dynamite had an article on shoelaces. THIS WAS AN ACTUAL QUESTION IN MY CURRENT JOB'S INTERVIEW 25 YEARS AGO.

Cool! I just commented on a Busiek skeet that inkers don’t get enough credit.
