[comp.fonts] Comic Fonts

Hi.

Is there a font that resembles the writing in comic books and cartoons.
Sort of like the writing you see on opening of the TV Batman show when
they are fighting the villains.  "Boom", "Oof", "Smack", etc... You get 
the idea.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

this may not be in your price range (if like me, you prefer things
free), but ImageClub has a nice set of fonts appropriately named Comic
Book 1 and Comic Book 2, that has the look that i imagine you're
looking for.

i know they've got a cd-rom where you can unlock them as you go, but i
know that they MUST sell them separately as well....

happy comic-scripting... :)
