Here is an odd one.

What If? #64, August cover date, 1994.

According to the cover, the story is 'What If Iron Man Sold Out?'
According to the interior, the story is 'What If Iron Man Went Public?'

Who worked on this issue? I have the comic beside me, and it has absolutely no credits in it. My google-fu can't seem to find it either ('what if' is far too generic a name for an easy search).

Terrifying when the only creator's name you recognize is the creator of the software program they used....

Was computerized lettering done a lot in '94? Sounds a bit early to me...

I guess that's true. I was just thinking about my Digital Chameleon days, and about how long it was until the majority of books showed up with no lettering ('cause they were going to ComicCraft after the colouring was done).

I started in '97...even most of the Marvel books we did had actual lettering until '99, I think. Even up to the end, though, most DC stuff had the actual hand-lettering as well.

Simon Furman and Goeff Senior are far better known for their work on the UK and US versions of the Transformers comic.

Eh. I could be wrong, Ian, but even if he did hand-lettering before the advent of computerage, my statement is still true.
