LOVE hand lettering on art.
Back when I was at Marvel in the late 1990's, we did a month-long event called "Flashback" that was to flashback every title to the point in time a month before the Marvel Universe officially launched (before the Fantastic Four launched their rocket and got their powers).
[By this point in time, all of our lettering and ballooning was done digitally, after the art boards had been scanned.]
Adam Kubert was doing Hulk at the time, and he hand-lettered about a third of his issue (hell, maybe he actually did all of it), but it was funny how delighted all of editorial was, walking into Bobbie Chase's office to see the pages (which were actually really lovely in other respects), but just to see lettering on the page was so awesome.
The fact that pages almost never have lettering done by hand, on the boards anymore, makes original comic artwork a little sad, in my opinion.
[Final note: I should point out that even though he was already the son of the legendary Joe Kubert, Adam Kubert started out as a letterer before eventually growing into one of the top pencillers in the biz. So his lettering in that issue was top-notch.]
