Ramona Fradon, a comic book artist known for her work on the characters Metamorpho and Aquaman, has died, age 97. She had been drawing commissioned work up until last month, a remarkable run for any artist.

I was a huge fan of her Metamorpho art. There was a rough-hewn quality to it, plus a keen eye for characterization, that made it immediately engaging, plus imaginative renderings of the character's partial or full-body transformations into all sorts of chemicals.

She also picked up the Brenda Starr strip after creator Dale Messick retired, drawing it for 15 years.

Most notably, she was one of the very few women drawing comics for the Big Two during the Silver Age.

A great artist with the perfect touch for her subject.
