Comic Book Lettering – Tutorials and Articles

Comic book lettering is probably one of the more underappreciated components needed to make a successful comic book. As I’m getting my book together the importance of quality lettering is becoming more relevant to me. I’m a graphic designer by trade, so I have a good understanding of the power of text usage and font choices. Here are a few links to some good tutorials & articles from  letterers still active in the industry. Some very interesting reads:
