Ramona Fradon was one of the few female artists working in professional comics in the late Golden, Silver and Bronze Ages. She had a great run on Aquaman, co-created Metamorpho with Bob Haney, and later did The Super Friends comic. In her 90s, she’s still going strong with commissions.
And we can all be thankful for that. We can be thankful for artists with open minds, educated insight and the ability to make social commentary interesting and engaging. And we can also be thankful for the person who commissioned Fradon to draw this piece.
If you’re not familiar with Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth, that’s all right. It works simply. Once it’s wrapped around a person they can’t lie. And wouldn’t that be a handy thing to have when dealing with certain people out there.
