Celebrating the 41st Comic-Con with Cupcakes

When I was growing up, I loved to read anything, especially comic books.  My favorites were Richie Rich, The Fantastic Four, Little Dot, Archie, (a huge fan of) Batman...and as a teenager I switched to the romantic comics.  I used to wait not-so-patiently for the next edition to make it to my small Mississippi town.  I would read and re-read them until their covers fell off.

This past week (July 22-25), Comic-Con was a huge success as always and these cupcakes reminded me of the comic book characters I loved.
