One of the best but under appreciated artist of the silver age has to be Ramona Fradon. She has worked on almost every character DC and Marvel had to offer back them. From Aquaman to the Fantastic Four. From the Freedom Fighters to the Super Friends. She has done it all. Now it is captured in this book "Me and the Art of Ramona Fradon." I haven't read it yet but I hope to when it is released. Way too little is written about her. Mostly I enjoyed her work on DC projects. Marvel seemed to ink her more heavily and that took away the beauty of her art. My favorites are her work on Plastic Man and the Freedom Fighters. You can read more about it from the editor of the book at http://www.bobgreenberger.com/index.php/2012/02/07/me-and-the-art-of-ramona-fradon/. He doesn't agree with me on the Freedom Fighters art but I won't hold that against him. :) You can pre-order the book at amazon.com.
