She told of the articles and the publishing successes that she experienced but so many of them were punctuated by, I didn't get paid for that.

Superman, Batman, Spiderman and Ironman were some of my heroes.

超人，蝙蝠俠，蜘蛛俠和鋼鐵俠都是我的英雄。

In all of the action comics that I read, there was a distinct pattern—the Super Hero was never paid for his contribution to society;he always earned his living in his alter ego.

我所有的動作漫畫書都有一個相似的地方—大英雄從來不因?yàn)閷ι鐣鞒鲐暙I(xiàn)而索取回報(bào);他們總是靠自己的工作掙錢。
