![]() ![]() ![]() I found a couple of glyphs that looked a lot like the handwriting on this page. I looked up the Hedge Backwards font on Comicraft’s website, since I know it’s the one based on Starkings’ hand lettering. He was the regular letterer on this series at the time this -1 issue came out. I had even gone back and renamed the images so they didn’t include “workman” in the file names, which might prove one day confusing. I do like Starkings’ “Hedge Backwards” font, and owning a page of his hand lettering in that style is something I’d love to own. I did a quick panic and rewrote the piece, figuring my memory was backwards. The CBDB told me the letterer was Richard Starkings. ![]() In the hours before I published this article, I did a last second look-up on to make sure I had my facts right. I had remembered buying this page in part for the lettering, and it was the only Workman page I owned at the time. I even teased it in the Pipeline Newsletter as being about Workman. I originally wrote this article about John Workman’s hand lettering. It’s a funny story how we got here, and entirely my fault. I know that now because Richard Starkings told me so. ![]() The problem with that headline is that Richard Starkings didn’t letter it. This article originally saw “print” on Augunder the title, “Bought It for the Richard Starkings Hand Lettering.” ![]()
