Susanne Suba emigrated to the United States from Hungary after World War 1. She attended Friends School in Brooklyn and majored in illustration at Pratt Institute. She moved to Chicago to begin illustrating books, many written by her husband Russell McCracken. Her first illustrated book was chosen for the AIGA Fifty Books of the Year. Her illustration work has been exhibited in the Boston Museum, the Art Director's Club, Chicago, the Art Director's Club, New York, Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum and other smaller galleries.
PM magazine was the leading voice of the U. S. Graphic Arts Industry from its inception in 1934 to its end in 1942 (then called AD). As a publication produced by and for professionals, it spotlighted cutting-edge production technology and the highest possible quality reproduction techniques (from engraving to plates). PM and A-D also championed the Modern movement by showcasing work from the vanguard of the European Avant-Garde well before this type of work was known to a wide audience.
