‘It’s just a shame they couldn’t have used just the original font, because [Comic Sans is] a real mess.’ -Dave Gibbons, interview in The Guardian<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Sick of Comic Sans? Why not try something more authentic  . . . .<\/p>\n

Vincent Connare<\/a> based the design of his Comic Sans fonts<\/a> on the lettering work of comic book illustrator Dave Gibbons.<\/a> With infamous results.<\/a><\/p>\n

But the comic book lettering gurus at Comicraft<\/a> have something a bit better: Real Dave Gibbons fonts.<\/p>\n

They won’t come preloaded free on your PC. But if you want to put your money where your mouth is, the ‘DaveGibbons’ fonts – available in upper, lowercase, international, journal and splash page titling versions – should be up to the task at hand.<\/p>\n

Snag em here.<\/a> Multiple purchase options available, including some ‘Gibbous Packs.’<\/p>\n
