Sad day

Very sad.

One of the greatest colourists in comics history, incredibly talented, and, consequently, one of the most important contributors to my all-time favourite comics publisher, EC.

Other than some of her humour material, I’m less familiar with her pencil and ink artwork, I’ll admit.

She will surely be missed. Rip Marie. She could do it all. Pencil, ink. and color. Loved her work in Not Brand Echh! Her version of the Hulk was great also. Subby, Kull, She also designed the Merry Marvel Marching Society Kits back in the 1960's etc. I could go on.

She was a hoot. I met her several times in the 90s when she and Ramona Fradon did the convention circuit. 

Severin was a great colorist, a really good cartoonist and caraciturist (that is spelled terribly), and seemed to be a real cut up in the offices of Marvel for many years.

Hulk has always been my favorite Marvel character and Marie was my all time Hulk favorite artist. I bought this page from TOS 93 a few years back and had it framed. Proudly hanging in my office.

I wish I could have met her.

Amazing career! Sad to see her go but man, what an awesome run she had in comics!

Super nice lady. She was friends with one of my friends back in the 80’s/90’s period when I got to meet her several times. Both her and her brother were  underrated artists IMO. 

Great bodies of work by both. 

The SA and BA periods of comic creators is getting mighty thin now with who’s left...

[Dick Pontoon]

What a shame, RIP. She was multi-talented and the Hulk artist I grew up with (via reprints during the Trimpe and then Buscema years). Wish I had the chance to meet her.

[SpideyFein]

May she rest in peace. Another legend in such a short amount of time.  To my fellow collectors, we are lucky to have met such wonderful and talented people.

I still remember purchasing Not Brand Echh off the newstands.

My favorite Marie Severin cover.

RIP

I really, really enjoyed her artwork in the bronze age. Not only was she a super talented penciler and colorist, but many might not know, she provided many of the preliminary sketch ups for the bronze age covers. Imagine how much creativity that must have required!

Rest in Peace, Marie

Severely underrated talent.

A very sad day. RIP Marie, you were one of most talented comic artists. My condolences to her family and friends.

If I'm not mistaken, Marie was the very last person who worked at EC to leave us. A toast to you, funny and talented lady!

[Larryw7]

All Feldstein used to call her the conscience of EC. She let them know when they went too far, and would often color a panel all blue or red if it was particularly disgusting. Before becoming a comic book artist she almost entered the convent.

I believe Angelo Torres is the "last man standing" from EC

So sorry to see MS Severin go. I met her several times at SDCC. Very upbeat, happy and a super tallented artist. Her often moody coloring on EC's really set the tone. I remember hearing that she toned down a lot of them to be in "better taste".  RIP Marie!
