"DOG FOOD" - art by Ramona Fradon

For our first post let's go with one of my favorite DC artists of all time, Ramona Fradon. Her elegant, smooth style defined Aquaman in the early going. She had a cinematic eye that stands up well in any era. This story, which was penned by Michael Fleisher, comes from House of Mystery No. 239, February-March, 1976.

  2. Ramona Fradon has one of the most noticeable styles at a glance, and I love her balance of line-weights she always knows just how much to use without ever getting too busy/muddy.
