Supergirl Sketch

June 27, 2009: A Day In The Life of Matt Idelson

Superman Group Editor Matt Idelson has posted an entry over at the DCU's "The Source" blog, updating us on what's going on over at the DC Comics offices in regards to the Superman titles...

    We're wrapping up the lettering on ACTION COMICS #879, which means a lot of emailing back and forth with letterer Rob Leigh. He's come up with what I think will be a stronger method for the English subtitles to all the crazy Kryptonian speak going on in the book. And if this doesn't work, we'll just start throwing sound chips in the book!

    Also on the lettering front, Jared Fletcher, the man of many nicknames, has delivered the first round of lettering for SUPERGIRL #43, and man, he's done a great job. We asked him to do something slightly different here for Kara's narrative, and he's knocked it out of the park. The whole issue is somewhat of a departure, and definitely a pallet cleanser after a few months of asking, "Who is Superwoman?" I swear, Sterling and Jamal are getting exponentially better by the issue! One guy who's not getting better is Jon Sibal, and that's only 'cause he couldn't possibly get any better. The fact that he's crazy in a good way just adds to the joy of working with him. And Wil tells me that Jon tells him that he's inking the last page of the issue right now. I love it when a plan comes together.

Check out his complete report at "The Source" blog.
