When I was a regular contributor to 2000 AD, lettering such strips as STRONTIUM DOG, ROGUE TROOPER, and a whole host of other strips from time to time, ALAN McKENZIE (the best deputy editor the comic ever had) often asked me to design and letter various special logos for story titles and upcoming new series.
On view are three suggestions for a series featuring Scottish Strontium dog MIDDENFACE McNULTY. I forget which one was eventually chosen, but each one you see on this page was completely hand-lettered by myself. Anyone lettering comics using computer fonts today who can't also do it by hand (if required) isn't a REAL lettering artist in my opinion - they're just typists.
