Luna Moth is a fictional comic book character from the novel “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay” by Michael Chabon, a story that imagines the inception and success of comic books during World War II. In Chabon’s story, Luna Moth is the first female superhero and a member of The League of the Golden Key, heroes dedicated to winning a shadow war conducted against super villains created by Nazi Germany. Luna Moth draws her power from the moon and can enter human dreams to wage battle.
