The I would fit the word KID. Don't know which KID comic, but it's a place to start. On the M, there is a rounded letter before it that could be an O or D, and a serif after it that could be an A, so could be something MAN.
Good idea on the M. For the I, it probably isn't a K (or an X or Z) or we'd see a foot or base at the bottom right of the letter in question. Could the next letter be an N? Tempting to thnk so, since ING is such a common sequence of letters in English - a gerund or perhaps something with WING? Another clue might be that the white border around the letter seems to blend into more of the same below, so it could be part of a few words that appear abpve the main title. I agree about the I being in the top of a logo with words below. With KID I was just looking for a word from a logo that has already been revealed. But you are probably right about the K.

And then, like a bolt of lightning, it hit me.

The clues for the M are it was used for a recent hardcover reprint and it is the favorite series of a couple members here.
So maybe we can start with what book that would be?

I looked at those Living Mummy covers yesterday but didn't see the I. Good work, kirby101!

And did MWG say that the word 'Living' appears also in the title with the M ?

No, just the other clues. It's also a smaller letter without any outline or shadow, so I am thinking it isn't the main name. It is also from the middle of a word, as there are letters close on either side.

The Living Mummy never occurred to me at all - well done Kirby101! IT! had one of my all-time favorite logos, the logo so good they had to come up with a series to use it for! I wore my IT! logo t-shirt to one of the zoom meetings this summer, in fact. It slipped my mind that it was a third "Living" character Marvel published in the 70's, so I didn't anticipate anyone looking there to find the I, even though my hint fit. So let's see if there's anything more I can offer on the M... I said the art for the original was used for the cover of a hardback collection; I'll add that it was Volume 1 of a series that was complete after the 3rd volume. It's a logo that was used one time only for a character that's been through a lot of different logos over several decades. And someone has already come very close to the answer!

Favourite title of several members? But it can't be The Maze Agency! That didn't debut until 1988. Besides the M in that logo cannot be mistaken for anything else.

"It's a logo that was used one time only for a character that's been through a lot of different logos over several decades." So it's part of a character's logo, not just a series. And it has a very newsprint feel, not bright and modern coloring. So I am guessing it is from the 60s or early 70s.
M W has said someone was close. The only post I see that guesses the M is Tomb of Dracula.

It's 70's, and the close post was one that speculated on the letters surrounding the M...wait, who posted that?

Okay. 70s. Some character that ends in MAN with a rounded letter before it . And the logo used once, but the image used in a recent hardcover reprint. It is also the favorite of a couple of members. So close....

So close.... Accurate synopsis of the clues. You are very, very close, but there's something in the way you phrased this that makes me think you might go searching in the wrong direction from here...I suggest thinking about what letter might precede the M...

It looks curved to me, like a D, O or U, but I can't get beyond that.
