My lettering is on The Huffington Post

The Adventures of Unemployed Man

This is the first bit of PR for the OGN that’s coming out from Little, Brown & Co. in October. Interesting to see whom they’re targeting first with it.

The balloons aren’t 100% correctly placed on the preview image, producing tangents. I gave them a better version for the back cover, but we’ll have to see if it got fixed.

Clem Robins brought Tom Orzechowski and me on board for this book since the lettering was quite involved and the deadline loomed large. It was at times frustrating, but overall fun.

It’s also the first actual superhero book I’ve lettered, and what was cool about it was getting to do it in an Ira Schnapp style (Golden Age/Silver Age style that defined DC’s lettering for decades). All balloons were done on a graphics tablet, which was another (non-manga) first for me.
