I am proud to own an original page of the FF 133 issue she drew. I loved her work on Metamorpho, a great campy DC series from the 60s. It's interesting how she said it's hard to draw. Sal Buscema said the same thing.
Still one of my favourite comic book artists and co creator of my all time fave superhero - Metamorpho! What a legend she is. Love her art style, so unique for the time. I would love to meet her but it’s unlikely living in the UK.
What a wonderful woman. Other than her Metamorpho work, amazingly, I don't know who she is. She worked at DC during the era when they didn't readily give credits to the artist. I barely recall her Aquaman work and recall more of Nick Cardy's work on that title. Stan Lee at Marvel made that credits box a staple and it served as "Writer / Director" credits to us fans who ate this stuff up. Stan's policy of giving public credit to the inkers, letterers and later on, colorists, all from obscurity and made them known and helped make them eligible for awards. I'm barely familiar with her name, and for the longest time I thought Marie Severin was the only girl in town. She's just a super, super, person. What insight and what a career. I'll have to go back and revisit her work.
I really enjoyed this, interesting woman and what a talent and such a distinctive style. the 'this was just a job' sentiment that comes up a few of the interviews in this series, but what she said about enjoying the reactions of fans at shows was vey touching. I have not watched one of these and not felt fortunate for the opportunity. I wish the Marie Severin one was longer (lol). Thanks for this work.
Ramona Fradon is one of the most important and influential female comic book artists of all time! She was fortunate enough to get her foot in the door--in the late forties and early fifties--at a period when the industry was largely dominated by males! Fradon's tenure on DC's TV-based tie-in title Superfriends (based, obviously, on the long-running Hanna-Barbera animated franchise) during the late seventies and early eighties was amazing, and her work on Aquaman, Metamorpho, and Plastic Man was equally brilliant! I'm so delighted she's still alive and kicking, and still drawing personal commissions for fans on occasion! All in all, this was an incredible interview!
I met her in Toronto,mid 2000’s! Very polite and friendly! Ramona did only one issue of FF ,133 teamed up with Joltin Joe Sinnott on inks and I admire her professional honesty of doing a story in the Marvel style and she just did it!🎯😎 I wish that her and Marie Severin had teamed up on Claws of the Cat and I’d bet that it would have ran longer!⚡️👍
Amazing. She didn't do it because she love it, she did just because it paid the bills wow!
What a talent with self appreciation.
Godspeed to Ramona Fradon!💎🎯🙏
One of my favorite artists ❤️
The Fantastic Four story she did was very good.
One of her assistants on Brenda Starr was Mike Grell . . . .

Love this. I got to meet her in Atlanta at about this time and she was such a joy.

Back then it was almost slave labor.
