Happy birthday, Gaspar!

And a Merry Letterer Appreciation Day to you, too! (It's also Spirit letterer Abe Kanegson's birthday!)

Quite possibly the greatest letterer in comic-book history... Among the very tippy-top reasons I curse my lousy Internet reception is that calligrapher extraordinaire Todd Klein has been running some fantastic looks at Gaspar’s work on his blog for the past several years now. Check it out, everybody!
