Does anyone happen to know if there is work being done to expand the RDA 
relationship vocabulary to account for specific roles associated with the 
illustration of comic books and graphic novels?

Under the current RDA relators, it would seem the following roles (which are 
considered discrete enough to warrant separate mention on the statements of 
responsibility of comic books and graphic novels) all fit under the category of 
"illustrator":

artist
inker
colorist (or, color artist)
letterer

Also, I've noticed that often "cover artist" gets separate mention, though I 
think they would still be considered an illustrator.
