Comic Lettering
By Mack
Comic lettering is a type of lettering that designers use to catch the readers eye, so they may use bright and vibrant colors, abnormal types of font that we don't usually use and the word itself may be twisted or bent just so it will catch the readers eye. This technique is mostly seen in comic books or newspaper comics and is mostly used with noises or a verbal expression.

The images above are all perfect examples of the comic lettering because each of the words have bright and vibrant colors, have some sort of different type of font and positioned in ways we are not used to seeing.
"Boom!" By Mathew Lucas
This image and the one below were both made by the same artist, with the image above the creator made it look like there was some type of explosion happening inside the word Boom making the text contorted and thus making it appealing to the reader
And with the image below, the creator made it seem that the word "Shot" has actually been shot right through the letter "O" also making it appealing to the reader.

This picture has more of a comic book image to it and just by looking at it, the detail in the picture does make it look like the letter B is some kind of superhero. With its bright and bold color with block like type font makes it the perfect example of comic lettering.
