Ruined in the recent reprints where they used a handwriting font instead. I mean, an actual digital font instead of hand lettering, and it didn't much resemble the lettering by Herge (or, according to Wikipedia, one Michel Demaret).
- ggm 3y agoI wondered who the letterist was. The old b&w has a great cursive which might be Herge himself but I entered the room with Leslie Lonsdale Coopers British translations in the 60s as red spine hardbacks, some of which I still have, and they will have Demartet's font style. The exclamation and question marks stick in my mind for some reason.
