As I recall, the font I used on WONDER WOMAN was the one I made based on Jack Morelli's lettering. He asked me what I would charge to make a font for him, and I said "I get to use it."For most of the fonts I created, I would scan some lettering I liked from a comic or strip and build a font out of it, adding little modifications to make it "mine". In the beginning, I was not sure this was entirely ethical, so I didn't use any of the fonts. Making them was mostly to develop my skill in, well, making them! Then a little history research revealed what I was doing was basically how fonts have been created since Day Two. Take an existing style, and modify it. Looking at the vast sea of professional fonts available, I sometimes could not even find the difference that qualified as a new font! Anyway, history eased my conscience, and I started using the fonts I had made more liberally.
