WHY DOES WRITE PEOPLE NEVER WANT TO LETTER?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

Of course, I'm reading 3 (soon to be 4!) books by a inker-turned-writer, and one where the writer does the lettering (pretty well!) (unlike John the Byrne's attempts). And I've never done any of this. And I'm a jerk.

Of course, arguably the most innovative letterer in the history of the medium is also an artist and writer. And a bugfuck mentalist.

You're talking about Bob Lappan, right?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

Nope, Dave Sim.

He's talking about Byrne.

Joe, you're supposed to let us riff for at least 10 posts before spoiling our fun!

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 6 October 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

I don't get sarcasm on the internet.

OMG, ILC is the JAM BAND of COMICS!

Doesn't Walt Simonson sometimes letter other people's comics? In fact, I want to say he lettered at least one issue of Morrison's Doom Patrol.

Apparantly, Green Arrow/Nightwing penciller Phil Hester is a hell of a writer.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

Yes! I've been meaning to pick up something of his, but I suck.

Dunno if Walt Simonson does any lettering, but he & John Workman are LIKE THIS.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 6 October 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

Yahoo has VIDEO up.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 18:37 (twenty years ago)

er, wrong thread.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

Did you mean to post that to the Br!tney se><0r tape?

"Dunno if Walt Simonson does any lettering, but he & John Workman are LIKE THIS."

Has anybody ever seen Walt Simonson and John Workman TOGETHER in TEH SAME ROOM?
