Tomorrow Appears To Be Dynamite Wednesday

Rich writes,

Tomorrow, Dynamite Entertainment will be publishing twelve new comics, two collections and two archival volumes re-presenting classic titles.

In comparison, Premier publishers Dark Horse has  twelve monthly titles, IDW has fourteen, Image has ten, DC has nineteen and Marvel has sixteen.

I wonder how long it will be before Dynamite starts barging its way to the big table? It already lists itself as D.E. in Diamond's Previews rather than Dynamite Entertainment, so that if it ever made it into the front of Previews, it would be listed before Dark Horse at the very front…

THE ART OF RAMONA FRADON HARDCOVER
152 pages FC  •  $29.99  •  Teen +
Cover and art by RAMONA FRADON
Interviewed by HOWARD CHAYKIN

Ramona Fradon was one of the most prolific and high profile female cartoonists at a time when the comic book field was dominated by men. Her illustrative style influenced a generation of Aquaman readers, only to gain a larger following when she co-created Metamorpho, one of the most unique characters of comic's Silver Age. She demonstrated an apt ability to work in multiple genres with a flair for the comedic as seen in Plastic Man and later on Super Friends. She then made her mark by replacing Brenda Starr's creator Dale Messick on the long running newspaper strip.

The Art of Ramona Fradon is an in-depth, fascinating retrospective in the legendary illustrator's own words, shared in conversation with Howard Chaykin (American Flagg!) and accompanied by the finest examples of her work from such classic comics as Adventure Comics, The Brave and the Bold, Brenda Starr, House of Mystery, Metamorpho, Plastic Man, The Super Friends, World's Finest Comics, and more!
