A Brush of Death with Todd Klein.

Originally published at One Misfired Synapse. You can comment here or there.

Last week at my favourite local comic shop (which I mentioned earlier and will mention again next week), I was introduced to Todd Klein.

For those of you know don’t know, Todd is considered by both fans, critics, and scholars of graphic novels to be the eminent master of lettercrafting sequential art.

I recommend looking at his history and getting a feel of exactly how much he’s contributed to comic books. When people talk about any concept even remotely related to comics, they always picture those thought and word balloons. And I honestly believe when people picture word balloons, they all immediately picture Mr. Klein’s contributions to the craft.

A Lettering Primer: Todd Klein

He is the very embodiment of lettering, and I think he’s genuinely a nice guy.

I want to take a moment to personally thank Todd for appearing at Locust Moon.

It is always a great pleasure to watch artist at work.

Thanks to Locust Moon for helping create one of the high watermarks of my career.
