- Join me as I showcase the art I have in my collection by the legendary Ramona Fradon who unfortunately passed away recently at the age of 97. This is my way of paying tribute & celebrating her contributions to the comics industry. You will here the words “joy” and “beautiful” frequently during this one!
Wonderful collection of a wonderful artist! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the kind words! She was a true gem & will be sorely missed.
Wonderful tribute to a pioneer of the industry. Such an amazing collection of her art you've put together! Particularly love the color Wonder Woman piece and that FF page is the stuff of dreams! RIP Ramona, 1924-2026
Thanks so much for checking this one out, yeah, she was one of a kind! A 70+ year career in creating nostalgic beauty after beauty. She will indeed be greatly missed!
nice video Carl. I love her art and a wonderful person as well.
Thanks Lance! She was always a joy to chat with, saw her a few times at Baltimore over the years. Universally loved for her art as well as who she was as a person!
What a wonderful collection! I’m so pleased someone who loves her work so much has got hold of these and those commissions are amazing! I really love the Boris Karloff piece, very different for Ramona. I’ve been a fan most of my life after getting into Metamorpho comics as a teen. I would have loved to have met her or had work commissioned but one of my most cherished items is a colour Metamorpho sketch she made, just beautiful. I saw so many artists and writers pay tribute to Ramona after her passing and there were some wonderful stories shared but you’re right about her not being as well known as she should be. Such an amazing talent! Thank you for sharing your collection 👏
Wow, what an extensive collection of Ramona Fradon art you own, Carl. I never imagined you owned that many pieces! Thanks for sharing all of them with the community and for producing this little gem of a tribute to her. I know how much she would've appreciated it. Well done, man!
Yeah, I have a bit of an obsession with the charm of her work, getting a few new pieces occasionally was always a great boost of classic comic purity. There is definitely more I could’ve said about her career & her contributions but I wanted to just go through and enjoy the art. It’s a small tribute but one I really wanted to sit down and do. Appreciate the kind words as always!!
You have more Ramona art than anyone I know. Gorgeous collection.
Thanks bud! Yeah, I had a hard time passing up an opportunity to add more of her work to the collection!
