Some fun stuff...superhero style...

Interesting tidbit of the day...

Did you know the term "superhero" (with no spaces or hyphens) is legally copyrighted by Marvel and DC comics jointly? Back in the 1980's the 2 companies actually waged legal warfare against each other trying to secure exclusive rights to the word. The outcome? Both were granted equal status and all the other competitors simply printed the word with a space or hyphen, making it a compound word rather than a single word.


Ok, so that probably isn't life altering and neither are these, but they seem a fun way to brighten a room and bring out the comic book geek in all of us.

Both insignias are made from baltic birch plywood and stained for colour and measure about 8" in width.

I'm hoping to have some more available soon, both Marvel and DC. And if either company doesn't like free publicity they're getting, I'll just give it to someone else.
