Today in Comics History, February 4: Happy birthday, Fred Ray!
Born on this day in 1920: comics artist Fred Ray, the primary cover artist of DC's Superman and Action Comics magazines during the 1940s, who refiuned and shaped Superman's appearance character from early inconsistency to a powerful icon. Among his other work: drawing Batman and Robin and Congorilla, among others, including twenty-plus years drawing Tomahawk. Ray was an extensive authority on military uniforms of the Revolutionary War and a consultant to the Smithsonian Institution, and wrote non-fiction books on the subject.
