Gaspar Saladino (September 1, 1927[2] – August 4, 2016)[3] was an American letterer and logo designer who worked for more than sixty years in the comic book industry, mostly for DC Comics. Eventually Saladino went by one name, "Gaspar," which he wrote in his trademark calligraphy.
From 1966 to the 1990s, he lettered many of the logos, titles, captions and balloons on DC Comics covers.[4] For a period in the 1970s, he was also "page-one letterer" for many Marvel Comics books.[4]
