He's railed on before about how much he doesn't like the choice of mixed-case lettering for Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man comic and how he prefers ALL UPPER-CASE lettering to be used in comics he reads. That's a matter of preference, I understand, but how is is more serious and (Gods above!) mature to tell a story using ALL UPPER-CASE lettering? Am I wrong here or has not the majority of Western literature been written in mixed-case fonts for centuries? Does not the fact that comics have been traditionally written in UPPER-CASE letters have more to do with the necessity of being able to very quickly hand-letter many pages which have to be legible even to children? Doesn't it seem to be a sign of maturity for comics that they are now able to adopt lettering and font styles used by their more mature, accepted and respected brethren? Seems to me that it's so.Finally, special credit goes to Comicraft for using a font unlike ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN's in the issue. The all-caps font helps maintain the serious and mature attitude of the story. It didn't look like an Archie Comic.
Now I am not saying that one way is inherently superior to the other or more correct than the other for comics, but I do think it's a mistake to say that using ALL UPPER-CASE letters makes for a mature-seeming comic than using mixed-case lettering.
Here endeth the rant.
