The amazing Dial B for Blog has just posted an extensive tribute to Gaspar Saladino, the man responsible for some of the best logos, cover lettering, and advertising in comic books.

At DC Comics, he designed the logos for Swamp Thing, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and more, while over at Marvel he did the same for The Avengers, Captain America, Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos, and others.

Even those whose interests run more to science fiction than to comics might still be interested in what the site calls “The Gaspar SCI-FI Cloud,” which plucks distinctive lettering from a variety of science-fictional covers to form a tag cloud of sorts.
