Todd Klein has written a lot of logos - now there is a tricky type issue:
http://kleinletters.com/LogosTop.htmlhttp://kleinletters.com/Blog/?cat=4Also - how not to letter comics, from a review of the Twilight manga by the ever reliable Chris Sims:
Unfortunately, once you actually start reading the book, it all falls apart completely.
And it's all because of the lettering.
That might seem like a small thing to pick on, but that's because like coloring, when lettering is done well, it doesn't draw a lot of attention to itself. As a result, a lot of people who are new to comics or who don't spend a lot of time thinking about them don't understand that lettering is an extremely complex art form unto itself that's evolved over the past 70 years into something that integrates with the art and dialogue to tell a story in a very specific way... when it's good. But like coloring, bad lettering is very, very easy to spot.
And "Twilight" has the worst lettering I have ever seen.
And by Tharg's third nut, it is bad!! Anyone going to Hi-Ex should buy Bolt a pint, thanks to his hard work it is less easy to sneak terrible lettering into even a small press comic. Scarily, this is not only professional work but it is going to be one of the biggest selling graphic novels of the year (after Watchmen I assume).
