There are those who would tell you that Todd Klein is the current master of the art of lettering for comic books. He's certainly the most knowledgeable about the craft and its history…and about the many fine artists, most of whom were uncredited or undercredited, who have done that job. Todd has written many articles about them and their work and now he's compiled them into a free online-only book which I recommend to anyone with the slightest interest in this form of art. Jack Kirby once said of longtime Marvel letterer Artie Simek, "Often, the best art on a page of comics is what Artie put there."
