Severin worked as a production artist and colorist for the publisher in its 1960s incarnation before becoming a penciler and inker in her own right
Marie Severin, a comic book artist and colorist best known for her work on Marvel titles including The Incredible Hulk, Kull the Conqueror and the humor title Not Brand Ecch, has died. She was 89.
Severin’s death followed her move into hospice care after a second stroke this week; she suffered her first in 2007. Her death was announced on Facebook by longtime friend and former Marvel staffer Irene Vartanoff

Sad. Strokes aren’t to be messed with.
I greatly enjoyed her work. She had a great sense of humor based upon the bullpen pages and interviews I’ve read. I imagine they had a lot of fun working there back in the day (and so did we readers).
RIP
Au revoir, Marie. Je te remercie!
Recently surprised this site exists
readcomiconline.to
has everything.
RIP.
Been doing some bedtime reading of my old journals from the mid 70’s.
In one I made note that I had close to 4000 comics. Mostly Marvel.
I remember Marie Severin.
Her brother, John Severin, was a fantastic artist as well, he worked on the Hulk if I recall correctly. He passed away a few years ago.
Yeah. “Not Brand Echh.” I remember.
RIP
There goes the Forbush Man frachise
Both worked at EC Comics too. John also was in Cracked Mazagine starting with the first issue
At first I thought this said “Marxist Activist” rather than “Marvel Artist” and I was like “Why the hell is DJ saying RIP. ;-d
RIP
Well... RIP could also mean “Rot in Purgatory.” :-P
I just make a habit of saying RIP in obit threads, if only because sometimes I might be the only one. I hope someone extends the same courtesy when there’s a thread about me, even if just one person.
