Typographic Comics

About Type Comics
Typographic (or Type) comics are comic books that use typography in place of imagery as the primary method of storytelling. Most traditional comics are sequential art based with letters and sound effects as supporting devices. Type comics use design principles, typographic layout, and careful page composition to create a unique narrative experience. Click on the thumbnails below to view examples.

Typographic Comics Kickstarter Campaign
Kickstarter is an creative project funding site that uses the power of the internet to support fundraising goals. What makes it different from other fundraising sites is that it's all or nothing. If the goal is not reached in the project time-frame it is not funded. View the video below to get more information on the Typographic Comics project and click here to view the Kickstarter page.
