About Elektrakution Font Family
SHE'S DEAD, FRANK
It's the year 1991, BC (Before Comicraft) when REM were still making records and Frank Miller's memorable run on Marvel Comics' DAREDEVIL was just over ten years old. Comicraft's Richard Starkings found himself working in Anaheim, California for Graphitti Designs. Graphitti had produced the first hardcover edition of Miller's Batman tale, DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and was now putting together the sequel to Miller's DAREDEVIL — ELEKTRA LIVES AGAIN!
Richard was not engaged to letter this book, the pages of Frank's incredible original art that came through Graphitti's studio were already lettered by Marvel Stalwart, Jim Novak. However, there were some cover elements that needed to be added, based on the logo originally rendered by Frank's brother, Steve.
Starkings set about the task of creating an alphabet that could be used to develop Steve's idea for the trade dress -- the cover elements, the back cover copy and credits on the interior pages. This was long before Macintosh computers and font programs made this work considerably easier, so Rich sat down with a pencil and a sheet of vellum and rendered an alphabet that could be used as the basis for the text that was needed... Those sketches have languished in a drawer for nearly thirty years, but now, finally, Comicraft's John Roshell has dusted off those old letterforms and Elektrakuted a font based on those designs, a font we HAD to call ELEKTRAKUTION!
As for Elektra; she's dead, Frank.
