Ramona And Aquaman

This week on Bros, Foes & Heroes, we're continuing our month of spotlighting female creators in comics and we're diving deep (pun intended) into the legacy of Ramona Fradon, one of the only women working in comics in the early 1950s. She started drawing Aquaman as a backup strip in Adventure Comics and ended up defining the character's look for over a decade. So if you picture the classic Aquaman, you're picturing her work. We cover two of her Aquaman stories, talk about her fascinating origin in the industry (art school, a husband who drew for The New Yorker, and a connection that got her through DC's door), her later work on Brenda Starr, Reporter, and how she helped create Metamorpho. Plus, we get into the wild history of why Batgirl was created, a Family Circus ghost rabbit hole, and even more fun. #aquaman #dccomics #comicbookhistory #brosfoesandheroes #comicbookpodcast #comicbooks #womenincomics #femalecreators #comicbookart #comics Thank you to our sponsors!
