The perfect gift for the imaginary girlfriend in your life

I have some very good news for the comic book geeks out there with girlfriends. And when I say girlfriend, I’m not counting anyone you communicate with strictly via keyboard. To celebrate their 75th anniversary, DC Comics have teamed up with nOir Jewelry for a collection inspired by the venerable comics powerhouse’s fiercest and most […]

Then she met art director Nicholla, and they had […]
