That is when you were talking about dropping in the lettering by hand with a technical pen or a #107 nib. Lettering your comic used to be a nerve-wracking experience. Hand Lettering Your Comic Was Sometimes Ulcer Inducing I wasn’t particularly great – but I was pretty good and lettered around 250 pages in total. It was a nice reprieve from writing, drawing, packaging, Myspacing and marketing our fledgling boutique comic publishing concern. I’d pour a glass of wine (I’m not a wine drinker incidentally), fire up InDesign and get to it. I used to letter all of the various comics that we created back in the mid-late 2000’s. Meaning it blends seamlessly with the art to make an amazing reading experience. When done right – you tend not to notice great comic book lettering.
