This prestige twelve-issue series from Marvel’s Epic line combined swords and sorcery with science fiction. Gaspar Saladino lettered the stories in issues 7-12. I’ll show one page from each issue. His first, above, has well-made captions. I’m not sure if the decorative initial caps are lettered by him or press-down type.
Gaspar could always be counted on to add drama where needed, as he did here with a burst, display lettering, and rough balloon shapes.
The large T in this second caption definitely looks hand-lettered. Notice those little zig-zags in the upper caption border to add interest? Saladino had been using that style choice occasionally since his very first comics lettering in 1949.
Here the T in the caption matches the Asian style of the title.
This is a more typical Saladino story title. The large rough balloon full of energetic display lettering again adds to the drama.
Clearly this was a dramatic, or melodramatic series, and Gaspar knew just where to emphasize that with larger display lettering and rough balloon shapes.
To sum up, here are the details of Saladino’s story lettering.
