Now here's something you don't see everyday!

Last year my husband, a huge sci-fi and comic book fan (who's actually a comic book writer/artist himself) came up with the idea of a t-shirt with icons/symbols to represent common "super powers" exhibited by various heroes we've all seen in cartoons, comic books, movies, and tv shows.

So we launched our original "What's Your Super Power?" t-shirt in February 2007:


(See this design in more t-shirt styles and colors HERE).

Earlier today, in anticipation of Heroes season 3, I was looking at official Heroes t-shirts and chanced upon this:



Now does that look almost exactly like our design or what? The symbols have been re-imagined but the illustration style and typeface that was used are very similar to ours. I found these shirts here, here, and here. UPDATE: Edited to erase links.

Oh well...*shrugs*

I'll just leave it up to you now, dear customer. If you want an official but commercial Heroes tee, then go ahead and click the links above*. If you want to support indie designers like ourselves, you may purchase the original but non-Heroes-centric "What's Your Super Power?" t-shirt from our shop ... and thus have our undying gratitude. :)

*But if you really must have an official Heroes tee, I'd rather you check out the following instead (these are pretty cool):
