OK, one more...it might be enlightening to check my other posts in the forum today. I have to bow out, as I'm leaving soon for a couple of days, but how about something to do with your old favorite, Jim Aparo?

Nice work--I picked up on MWGallaher 's Wonder Woman clue this morning, but thought the other clue pointed to Perez. When I found this cover, I thought I was getting close, but had to start working on my real job.

Thanks for the contest M W. I must say, I had no idea Aparo had a 3 volume hardcover set. Not that he doesn't deserve it. I did think of Wonder Woman too, and looked at a lot of WW covers, but this one never came up.

I always have wondered why DC whipped up a WW logo in an obviously commercial font for this, the last appearance of the "Diana Prince, Wonder Woman" incarnation. I suppose the one associated with the white-garbed, non-powered version didn't fit, since it was all on one line, but they could have split them up like they did on WORLD'S FINEST #204. An interesting oddity, anyway.

Just going to say, if lettering and logos like this are of interest to folks here, they should check out Todd Klein's blog. My wife follows him on FB, so we get it there (though we sometimes have trouble accessing it that way), but there are other ways to get it (though I don't have the links available at the moment). But he discusses a lot of aspects of lettering and logo design in general and does deep dives on individual logos.

Congrats to all participants! That was fun! I enjoyed the detective work involved in that challenge, but now maybe I can sleep without my brain attempting to dredge up obscure tryout and team-up books I might have forgotten.
I am also a little concerned that I was able to look at a single letter and go "That has to be from a Charlton book". And be right!

Considering the obscurity of some of the books in my collection, it could have been far worse. At least he stuck to primarily mainstream publishers. If he had us trying to identify the "R" from the first masthead logo of "Prize Comics Western" or something similar, it could have taken a whole lot longer...
