I like you hand-lettering the work, JB.
I think it looks great!...

Well, thanks, Nathan. But there is a difference between something I letter in
the fashion of your Johnny Thunder piece (above) -- which, incidentally,
took two passes, first with the brush pen, then with a fine nib to sharpen the
edges -- and something that is supposed to replicate previously existing
lettering ---- especially display lettering!

Great job, JB.
...and I say just try your best at the lettering. I'm sure that will be sufficient
for most.

The hand lettering looks fine, it's the human touch most people are looking
for! If the recipient really wanted a perfect replica, there's no reason they
can't scan and edit together a fabulous print to hang on the wall next to the
original.

I echo a preference for the hand lettering. It makes it more of a full JB experience.

Wow! I like it! I especially like how JB posed Magneto. I like the corner box art.

I love the original X-Men and JB's work on them.
This is one fantastic cover.

With that picture one wonders what a JB run on Uncanny X-Men without Claremont would have been sans Hidden Years.
