Severin’s work
Marie Severin, the legendary Marvel artist, colorist and spider creator, died at the age of 89. Severin has contributed to the golden age of the comics and the silver age, and his career spans decades.

In 1949, Severin’s brother, EC Comics artist John Severin, invited her to join the team and worked as a colorist at EC Comics. Her first famous work was “A Moon, a Girl… Romance” #9. Severin always went through the collapse of EC Comics in 1954, then went to Marvel, and soon became promoted to the chief colorist, and then participated in the creation of illustrations and pencil drawings.

Severin’s works include “The Hulk”, “The Doctor of the Singularity”, “Iron Man” and “The Night of the Devil”. In 1972, she left the colorist position and focused more on pencil drawing and ink mapping. In 1976, Severin co-founded the role of the Spider-Man and worked in Marvel’s special project department to help design and draw illustrations for the product.

Severin is a prolific artist who has been working in her 70s. From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, she was the colorist of the DC comic Superman Adventure. In 2001 she was included in the Esna Comics Hall of Fame and in 2017 was awarded the Idol Award at the International Comic Con.
