>Ramona Fradon, Classic Aquaman Artist and Co-Creator of Metamorpho, Dead at 97 >she made her debut in 1949 with the DC title “Gang Busters,” a series based on the true crime radio program of the same name. >She was assigned Aquaman’s adventures in “Adventure Comics,” which she would pencil for a whole decade from 1951 to 1961. Over the course of her run, Aquaman’s origin story was revamped, establishing his real name as Arthur Curry, while characters like his parents Tom and Atlanna, the octopus sidekick Topo, and the original Aqualad (Garth) were introduced. She would continue to draw Arthur’s series, which moved to the pages of “World’s Finest Comics,” >She and Bob Haney introduced Metamorpho (Rex Mason), the Element Man, in 1965’s “The Brave and the Bold” #57. The character, who was conceived as a self-parody of DC’s more bizarre characters, proved popular enough to gain his own series. >She was recognized during her lifetime with an Inkpot Award in 1995, and an induction into the Eisner Awards’ Hall of Fame in 2006. Her passing has prompted much mourning on social media, with Gail Simone, Ron Marz, Jerry Ordway, Jimmy Palmiotti, Jeff Parker, Brittany Holzherr, Chris Ryall, Joe Illidge, Francesco Francavilla, Zack Davisson, and Zach Rabiroff among those paying tribute to her. https://archive.md/Wg6jC
