![]() ![]() The GCD is an awesome, awesome website, but at the same time, just like everyone (certainly myself included), it occasionally gets things wrong, and I think there was a mistake here (I've since edited my own write-up on Severin's passing). Now, hopefully all of these newspapers were just doing what I did, which was to credit the available comic book credit information that we have, like the amazing Grand Comics Database, which lists Severin as the colorist on that issue. She was one of a handful of female artists who gained prominence during comics’ so-called Silver Age, from the mid-1950s until the early ’70s. ![]() She started in the industry in 1949 as a colorist for EC Comics, working with her brother, John Severin, an artist known for his realistic war and western comics. Since then, I've seen plenty of obituaries of Severin, like this one from the New York Times, that credit that same timeline: ![]()
