The perfect how-to guide for novices and pros alike, The Essential Guide to Comic Book Lettering is an essential reference for learning the tips and tricks of the comic book lettering trade, all told by one of the industry's leading experts.

Comic book lettering is an art. Well-crafted comic book lettering is the visual soundtrack that guides a reader's eye along the page with emotive dialogue, intuitively placed balloons, and dynamic sound effects . . . but these elements are just the beginning for the professional letterer.

In this book, you'll also learn the graphic design skills involved in crafting memorable logos, the unique grammatical traditions of mainstream comics, the process of creating your own professional lettering templates, tips on establishing a career in comics . . . and much more.

With expertise honed while working for virtually every major comic book publisher in the industry, Blambot's award-winning letterer and typographer, Nate Piekos, shares twenty years of knowledge behind one of the most indispensable disciplines in the comic book industry.
