Happy Birthday, COMICRAFT!

Lettering powerhouse and CWN sponsor turns 15

Congratulations and many happy returns to Rich, JG, and the rest of the COMICRAFT gang!

Los Angeles, CA -- Nov 21, 2007-- Hundreds of fonts and logos of Unique Design, Thousands of pages of Fine Lettering, and Millions of Satisfied Customers and Elephantmen served! Yes, this month marks COMICRAFT�s 15th anniversary and we're celebrating with the relaunch of the COMICRAFT website and the launch of a brand new font.

The brand new font? COMICRAFT, of course! It�s a font that's not just a bunch of letters arranged in alphabetical order: this one's Carefree, Original, Mirthful and Interesting, Clever, a little bit Raunchy, a little bit Adventurous, Friendly and Tenacious all at the same time---and if that doesn't spell COMICRAFT, then we just didn't eat enough chocolate today.

�We know what you're thinking---we can read minds too---you�re thinking,� said President & First Tiger Richard Starkings, �that you've bought all our fonts, you've read COMIC BOOK LETTERING THE COMICRAFT WAY a dozen times, you've scoured BALLOON TALES for every tip and trick we have to offer. Come to that, you've even read TIM SALE BLACK AND WHITE, HIP FLASK: UNNATURAL SELECTION, HIP FLASK: CONCRETE JUNGLE and you subscribe to ELEPHANTMEN every month. In fact, you only buy RED SONJA and ASTRO CITY because of the unique design and fine lettering�but you still can't get enough Comicraft, can you?�

As if they�ve worked side by side for 15 years, Comicraft's Secret Weapon, John JG Roshell, had the answer: �We understand your needs and I�ve updated our site so that you can keep tabs on us every day of every month. New logo designs, new trade paperback designs, new fonts, all our newer new stuff will be blogged every week for COMICRAFT fans everywhere. You may not have known it, but the �I� in Comicraft stands for Informative, and the �O� stands for Blog--- er, OurBlog.�
