s08e18 - In Conversation with letterer ADITYA BIDIKAR

There are a couple of elements when it comes to the publication of the modern comic book which could almost be considered 'the Dark Arts' - editing, colouring and lettering. The latter is almost certainly the last in the pecking order of comics creation but, in my mind, one of the most important as the lettering of a book is equivalent to the sound design of a film: an aspect that can ties an entire project together and give it the flavour which defines it.

One of the busiest - and most popular - letterers on the circuit today is Aditya Bidikar, a name you may have seen on many of the biggest books on the shelves today. Aditya joins us to peel away some of the mystery of the art of lettering, explain the working relationships he has with many of his creative teams and discusses some of the books he's working on right now.
