The Brenda Starr reporter comic strip makes its debut in the Chicago Tribune Comic Book Magazine on June 30, 1940. The strip was drawn and written by Dalia Messick (April 11, 1906 – April 5, 2005) under the pen name of Dale Messick. The reason for the pen name? Simply put: sexism.

The newspaper publishers didn't put any stock in women artists and writers. It was easier for Messick to use a man's name in order to get her work published. Once the comic strip became a stable part of the Daily newspaper strip pages on October 22, 1945, Messick would draw the strip until 1980 and write it until 1982. The strip would continue to be drawn and written by various women artists and writers.

The last Brenda Starr reporter strip was printed on January 2, 2011.

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.
