From “The Secrets of Pennyloaf” by James Bethel and Tony Petry; Lettering by Pam Harrison

A letterer is a member of a team of comic book creators responsible for drawing the comic book’s text. The letterer’s use of typefaces, calligraphy, letter size, and layout all contribute to the impact of the comic. The letterer crafts the comic’s “display lettering”: the story title lettering and other special captions and credits that usually appear on a story’s first page. The letterer also writes the letters in the word balloons and draws in sound effects. Many letterers also design logos for the comic book company’s various titles.

A great letterer is important to the balance, tone and storytelling of your comic.

  • Pages MUST be submitted complete, inked and colored with NO word balloons or text. I am unable to edit, salvage or recreate a page if the artist has added balloons and lettering and submits a flattened image prior to editing/lettering.
  • Be sure the artist plans each page so that lettering and word balloons can be placed for optimal storytelling
  • Delivery of pages to be lettered may be submitted via DropBox or Google Drive.
