After Dale Messick stopped drawing the "Brenda Starr" comic strip in 1980, the artistic duties were taken over by artist Ramona Fradon. Fradon had previously worked on the comic strip "Wonder Woman" and was known for her ability to create strong female characters. She continued to draw "Brenda Starr" until the strip's conclusion in 2011, contributing significantly to its legacy and maintaining the character's spirit established by Messick.
