Ron Frenz
Ron Frenz is a Marvel penciler most closely associated with Copper Age runs on Amazing Spider-Man and Thor, where his clean, classic storytelling and clear debt to earlier Spider-Man artists made him a recognizable house style presence in the 1980s. His work is closely tied to collector focus on Spider-Man and Thor keys from that period, and his covers and interior art often serve as reference points for readers tracking Marvel's transition from Bronze Age visual traditions into the Copper era.
