This lengthy article on lettering and ballooning features a group of experienced comic professionals discussing the topic. They talk about what techniques are unique to comics, such as thought balloons and sound effects, and why they disagree with the cinematic approach that’s so trendy. It’s full of good information about craft and the kinds of detail creators should be thinking about.
