"TOKYO ZOMBIE" LETTERING
2008 |
  |
For Last Gasp's English-language release of Yusaku Hanakuma's "Tokyo Zombie",
I did the book design, lettering, and touch-up. This was a really fun
project to work on, especially since I got to collaborate with my good buddy
Ryan Sands. This
was our first legit manga adaptation release, after a few years of
semi-illegal scanlation stuff on our site
Same Hat!
For the lettering style, I replaced all the sound effects and incidental
text with English versions. Since it was my first book, it's a little all
over the map with typefaces compared to later books I've done, but it sort
of fits the crazy tone of the manga. I also hand-illustrated some of the FX,
such as the "BOO BOO" and "RAH RAH" sequences you see on
pages 66 & 81.
This page focuses on the lettering, but if you'd like to see my design for
the outer sleeve, check that out here. |
