“DRAWING SUPERHEROES NEVER came easily to me,” admitted comic book artist Ramona Fradon. “I didn’t have the mythic sensibility and could never really take them seriously.”
Gifted with a clean, whimsical style that gave grace and energy to such DC Comics icons as Aquaman, Batman and Wonder Woman, Fradon was raised in Westchester County, on the outskirts of New York City. Graduating from the Parsons School of Design, she was encouraged into comics by husband Dana Fradon, a New Yorker cartoonist. “He urged me to try my hand at cartooning and I found I could do it.”
