Ramona Fradon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ramona Fradon is an American comic book and comic strip artist. Her most noted work was on the DC Comics characters Aquaman, for whom she co-created the sidekick Aqualad, and Metamorpho. In the 1980s and 1990s, Fradon was the artist for the comic strip Brenda Starr. She was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2006.
Fradon entered cartooning as young newlywed, when comic-book letterer George Ward, a friend of her husband's, convinced her to give him samples of her artwork to pitch for job openings. She landed her first gig on the DC Comics feature "Shining Knight".
Following her time with Aquaman, Fradon drew four issues of Metamorpho. She returned briefly to design a few covers for the title. Her other work includes Marvel's The Cat and Fantastic Four; DC's Plastic Man, Freedom Fighters, and Super Friends; and the comic strip, Brenda Starr, which Fradon took on after creator Dale Messick decided not to continue drawing the strip.
