John Workman & Aditya Bidikar on The (in)Visible Art of Lettering, Part 2

[This episode is a remastered version of number 776 in a series, originally released on April 21, 2022.]

Now you can hear the second half of the two-part chat Greg had with letterers extraordinaire Aditya Bidikar and John Workman! 

The shop talk continues, as well as thoughts on more recent work like John’s take on the HBOMax Doom Patrol series (after lettering almost the entire Morrison run back in the day) and Aditya’s review of Barry Windsor-Smith’s Monsters!
