There are lots and lots of reasons to wear comic-inspired fashion... that's what the Comic-Con's taught us, year after year!:) Seriously now, there's that funky nod to pop art, the fun catchy colors, the never-ending allure of graphic-prints, and they sure make great conversation starters, don't they? Let's channel our inner comic-book junkies, shall we?

We all (well, almost all of us!) have a superman or batman vintage tee hiding somewhere in our closet-and now is a good time as any to bring in some more old friends, and the perfect time to wear our trip down memory lane, to that place far far away (farther for some than others) where we were Veronica, Betty, Catwoman, Lois Lane-or that girl hoping Spiderman would save her and Wolverine would carry her far far away! We've all been there - and now we can dress it too!
What do you guys think? Are you ready to wear your comic-book fix? - or should we lose the geek-factor already?
