"I just started getting into comic books for the first time a few years ago. My son was interested as well, so we started making regular trips to the comic book store (pre-covid, of course). We loved looking at the artwork and lettering of the older comics. And like most lettering, right around the late 90s, it all went to shit. The hand-lettering masterpieces were abandoned for fonts and photoshop effects. With that said, I limited this post to the pre-'00s. I wanted to do something more vintage, but there are just too many from the 80s and 90s that I love. My absolute favorite was seeing all the interpretations of 3D type. I will say that comic books, in general, can be a challenging hobby to pick up. It's easy enough to go to the store and grab whatever jumps out at you, but all the authors, artists, storylines, volumes, issues, etc., can be intimidating to sort out, especially for a newbie like me. I quickly found that it would be impossible to do a general "comic book lettering" post. There's just too much out there. So I've decided to break it down into manageable chunks, starting with what I find to be the most popular - Marvel superheroes. These don't include teams, duos, or villains. And obviously, nothing from DC. Hopefully, if this post is popular enough, it will be an excuse to do more." —Reagan Ray, https://reaganray.com/2021/04/06/marvel-lettering.html
