Yes!!
My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

Here’s a recent convention sketch. I drew Frankenstein and (roughly) sketched in the Bride. Frank Cho finished the pencils on the Bride and inked her — far better than I ever could.

In 1971, a 30-year-old Neal Adams sat down to crank out a Superman cover for Julie Schwartz. Took him an hour or so. It became one of the most iconic comic book covers of all time. Coming up at Heritage soon. Might be a million dollar piece.

I need you to read this thread to understand why so many historians are revolted by this regime's crimes against the past
Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Theres about a week to go on this auction at Heritage. Seeing it available again 34 years after I drew it triggered a very rare moment as I found myself bidding on something that I drew, not to drive up the price, but because I would like to own it again. It just makes me smile! tinyurl.com/mud5nwc4
