Eisner winners! Kudos everyone involved, especially my dearests @timsheridan.bsky.social & @whattheshea.bsky.social for trusting in me to letter some of the lovely stories in this one.
My NINE open projects looking at me after I lettered only 4 pages today ⚽
All you need to understand, is that you'll never understand this. 🇦🇷
Where did my productivity go today? Oh that's right, straight into Pickford's goalpost. Twice. 🇦🇷
I found one from a FB group (much faster than browsing through thousands of floppies)! I think this is from Adventures of Superman 581, TWENTY SIX years ago OMG
Hi #portfolioday ! I'm Lucas, and I'm a comic book letterer who's worked for DC, Dark Horse, Boom, IDW, AWBW, DSTLRY, Mad Cave and more. I'm always open to hearing about new projects I can bring my unique POV to. 💼 bit.ly/LG_Lettering 🗨️ bit.ly/LG_Email
WAIT! Also out today and lettered by me: » Superman's Good Guy Gang: Follow the Leader, from DC Comics. By Rob Justus » Xanar & Mr. Tuxedo, from Mad Cave Studios. By Ryan, Giacomino, & Alloro
I was going to post about how I managed to survive a very intense week when I realized it's only Thursday. Sweet Mother of Cthulhu.
This feels like THE most special DC Pride event of all, sporting an amazing roster of creators and beautifully coordinated by none other than @whattheshea.bsky.social -- thanks to whom I was able to humbly collaborate with one of the GOATs, Klaus Janson, in such a personal and moving autobio. 🏳️🌈🌟
This is what my current WIP folder looks like, and I couldn't be more excited 🤩
Did I spend most part of an hour researching how to code books on old library cards, for ONE panel of a story I'm lettering? You betcha sweet tums I did. High-School-Librarian-assistant-16-y.o.-me would be proud. #PrideMonth
I'm just taking notice of this--as the letterer of this book I'm so very sorry this came to be. I know it doesn't make much of a difference, but the script had the name spelled correctly and that's how it was set in my files too. Not sure what happened afterwards, sadly.
Original credits designed by me for Fury of Firestorm #2. Gerry Conway's name (RIP) was spelled correctly.
I'm about to (double) cross yet another item here. 🫢🫣🤫🤐🥹
Superman: Father of Tomorrow #1 is out today! By @kennyporter.bsky.social @dannyearls16.bsky.social @nickfil.bsky.social. My letters are inspired by old 2000AD stories, and while Danny takes care of 90% of the SFXs (& kills it) I dare you to spot which are the ones I did (clue: none in the prev pgs)
Sometimes you just have ONE chance to shine on a book. TAKE IT!
Comps from the last weeks! - DeadEndia v3, & - Go-Man: Champion of Earth (both by Hamish Steel & me) - Justice League Red (Ahmed, Henry, Prianto, Baron, Christy, Brice)
This is another book that I had many sprinkled single issues and even some Spanish ones, but have always wanted to really dig in. David, Land & Kirk's storytelling here is brilliant, but I'm a bit biased as "Matrix" Supergirl will always be one of my favorite characters of all time (miss her!).
I only found out the TMNTs first came to life in a comic book back when I saw THE TOYS THAT MADE US a couple of years ago, so that alone was reason enough to read this. Immensely fun read, and having both authors comment on each issue was a door to such a different time in comic book making.
Another one of those books I have wanted to read for…decades? I remember being astonished by The Authority back then (present writer's situation excused) and always wondered how it all came to be, so I needed to get this off my system.
We're way ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars, but I wanted to be prepared. I tried reading #1 long ago and successfully failed. This was…a challenge. No comparison to Crisis AT ALL, whoever said that. BUT I loved the pages explaining its genesis BTW, quite a surprise. I had NO IDEA about the toys line!
My second vacation read: Earth-X. I still have 4 or 5 floppies from when they were 1st published. I got'em thinking this was just Marvel's silly response to Kingdom Come. BUT I remember my mind being blown by the main plot about why there were super-heroes, so I needed to read this in full.
