Vulture.com profiles Ramona Fradon. She discusses Aquaman, her work at DC, and how the comics have changed, in front of and behind the scenes. No mention at all of her work on the Brenda Starr comic strip, however: "The Woman Who Made Aquaman a Star"

But Fradon also knows, perhaps better than anyone, how quickly and dramatically the comics industry can change. “Aquaman is a good marker of what’s happened,” she tells me over the restaurant’s famous zucchini fritters. “When I was drawing him back in the ’50s, he was nice and wholesome, with a nice haircut and pink cheeks. Very handsome. I had a crush on him. And you can see what happened to him! It got more and more violent, and then he lost his hand, then he had a beard and he looked psychotic.” She laughs. “You know what? I don’t get it.”
