One artist’s opinion: I think for historical artistic works, it’s appropriate to use the name the artist used when the work was created, especially if the signature is part of the work. If an artist rereleases art under a new name, that attribution would be preferred (assuming it is actually them and not a ripoff, not sure how to manage that). Old works could still be reposted but with an annotation.
After a quick search I came across the Grand Comics Database which doesn’t cover deadnames specifically, but it does have a protocol for handling pseudonyms. I am partial to the term “Ghost name”. I might even start using it myself instead of deadname, because they do tend to linger.
