COMIC RELIEF

What is the exact size of standard lettering in comic books?

I am creating a comic and while I have the art thing down (more or less), I want the lettering to look decent, so I’m wondering what size to do the lettering on a comic art-board (11 x 17), which will of course be reduced to standard comic size.
Thanks.

lettering in comic books follows the standard of architectural lettering: write in all caps and has a minimum height of 3mm and maximum of 5mm depending on the size of the comic, also remember the space between words should be an invisible “O”.
letters should also look stable, avoid swaying letters, and remember that using guidelines is recommended if you’re a beginner.

Comic Books $93.99 A comic book (often shortened to simply comic and sometimes called a funny book, comic paper or comic magazine) is a magazine made up of narrative artwork, often accompanied by dialog (usually in word balloons, emblematic of the comic book artform) and often including brief descriptive prose. The first comic book appeared in the United States of America in 1934, reprinting the earlier newspaper comic strips, which established many of the storytelling devices used in comics today. The term comic book arose because the first comic books reprinted humor comic strips, but despite their name, comic books do not necessarily operate in humorous mode; most modern comic books tell stories in a variety of genres. The Japanese and European comic book markets demonstrate this clearly. In the United States the superhero genre dominates the market, even though other genres also exist.

Comic Book Collecting $101.96 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Comic book collecting is a hobby that treats comic books and related items as collectibles or artwork to be sought after and preserved. Though considerably more recent than the collecting of postage stamps (philately) or books (bibliophilia), it has a major following around the world today and is partially responsible for the increased interest in comics after the temporary slump experienced during the 1980s. Among comics fandom, the study of comics as a medium and an artform are sometimes referred to (individually or collectively) as panelology and people who collect comic books are known as pannapictagraphists.
