Essential Guide to Comic Book Lettering

Het letteren van comics en stripboeken is letterlijk een vak apart. Binnen de stripwereld zijn er dan ook professionals die zich enkel en alleen bezig houden met letteren, zoals typograaf en grafisch ontwerper Nate Piekos. In de afgelopen 20+ jaar heeft Piekos gewerkt voor o.a. Marvel, DC Comics, Dark Horse, Image Comics, Oni Press en vele anderen. In ‘Essential Guide to Comic Book Lettering’ deelt hij de vakkennis die hij opdeed in de afgelopen 2 decennia.

"For years I've posted lettering tips and design theory on social media, and one of the most frequently asked follow-up questions I receive is, 'Have you ever thought about writing a book about this?'" said Piekos. "Since well-executed lettering is an often overlooked part of the comics reading experience, very few people realize just how much graphic design skill is required to do the job well. I felt like it was past time to write an exhaustive guide on the art of digital comic book lettering for all those who are interested. It's a 'deep dive' on the subject that aspiring letterers have been craving." – Nate Piekos
