Letterer Index
| I don't know anything about lettering. Can't do it. Can't tell 'em apart after it's been done. The following collection of lettering samples is based for the most part on the Eclipse Official Indexes to Justice League, Legion, Hawkman, Teen Titans and Doom Patrol. I believe all those lettering id's were made by Mike Tiefenbacher. To that I added Joe Desris's id's of early Batman letterers. Presumably with this table and these samples, one should be able to figure out who lettered just about every DC story of the 50's and 60's. Good Luck. |
