Comic book lettering: balloons, SFX and reading order
Comic book lettering starts with a script and clean art. Send pages with room for balloons, the dialogue keyed to panels and any style notes, such as a particular font feel or SFX look. Tell us the trim size, reading direction and whether pages go to print or to a vertical-scroll webtoon format. Letterers work on final line art, so changes to art after lettering cost time.
A common mistake is balloons that cover important art or point at the wrong speaker, which confuses reading order. Comic book lettering here places balloons to guide the eye from panel to panel, sizes text for print and screen, and uses distinct styles for narration, thought and shouting. Sound effects are drawn to suit the art. Source files let you update dialogue for translations later.
