First of all, your Logo Studies are GREAT! I, of all people, realize that Logos are the second-most important thing on a cover, after the artwork, when it comes to interest a possible future customer in sampling your books, and it's good to see that you constantly point that out. Now let's hope that the comic book professionals take that to heart, so that we may get future classics of the same quality level as Sixties and Seventies Logo Legends like "Superman", "Batman", "Justice League of America", "Superboy", "Warlock", "The Mighty Thor", etc. But I have a request: I have an particular Love for Marvel's WARLOCK Logo from the Seventies-- the second one, starting with WARLOCK #9. It got me interested in trying out Warlock's book, and now I'm a fan of the character. Is there any way I could talk you into making a study about Warlock's Logos? (After all, the second Warlock Logo is probably one of the best Logos in the world, don't you agree?) Wish you the best, Todd Hello, Todd.

It certainly could have been him. I wish I knew the source of the information in that "Official" book, though. Thanks for the information, Tom. It certainly could have been him.

Fascinating posts! Can't wait to read more .... Todd:

Early middle of Claremont's first run, sure. One little nitpick here: Issue #142 was not “the middle” of the Claremont/Byrne/Austin run, it was Byrne and Austin’s next-to-last issue.

I honestly never gave logos much thought before, but that has certainly changed. Wonderful studies. Thanks. I’m loving all your logo studies.

I love it! Lettering is far too underrated in comics for a business built on the combination of text and image. Todd – This is awesome that you’re doing this look at the X-Men logos and their effect.

I knew I'd get something wrong with those Giant-Size books. A nightmare for listers, I'm sure, just like the DC Special Series ones that are all over the place in size and format. Thanks, Michael.
