I'd never really thought about how the way a character's speech is lettered can affect the way they come across. I guess I don't pay anough attention - with the exception of Delirium's word balloons in SANDMAN I have to admit I've never really looked too closely at the lettering. I guess most casual readers don't. I'm definitely going to go back and take a closer look at your work now. I've also just received 'Comic Book Dreams', and it's as gorgeous as I hoped it would be. Thanks again. That’s a great insight into the way you work. I’d never really thought about how the way a character’s speech is lettered can affect the way they come across.

I've never thought about creating a lettering guide for characters on the books I've done. I don't think that it would have been truly necessary but it is a great idea for future projects. Solomon's balloon and lettering is my favorite and what I think the most rewarding as a supportive element into his character. I love to see your “behind the scenes” work.

You seem to go above and beyond to make the characters feel and read as uniquely as possible. I think that's one of the reasons you continually win the Eisner award, Todd. It's definitely one reason that I'm your fan. Keep up the great work. I'll be reading. -Jamie That’s some very cool insight, even if you don’t feel

I have to say, the lettering was one of those things I didn't notice at first, but in a good way. Halfway through the first story arch, I realized that I was hearing these voices, Tom's especially, in a certain way. Then I saw that Tom spoke bigger than everyone else in that issue, and on further inspection, every issue prior! What a treat to discover that! But now that I think about it, Pnueman's is the balliest to me. I mean, empty spaces in the outline for someone who isn't whispering? Courage. That’s the interview that sent me here.
