Tom, why are comics lettered in all capitals?
Anonymous
Because the printing of comics and newspapers in the early days was shaky enough that printing in all caps increased the likelihood of legibility, and over time it simply became the industry standard. But not all comics are done all caps, the Ultimate books, for example, use upper/lower.
