Sounds interesting - keep me posted if there are visuals on the web, won't you?

sure. the annual costume institute gala is opening this show, so there will be tons of pics i'm sure.

I must admit that from the sound of the press release that I am disappointed that they'll only use movie costumes, not comic art. Understandable, given the sponsorship, though.
