Encyclopedia : J : JO : JOH : John Severin
John Severin is an American comic book artist most noted for working on the EC Comics line of comic books -- primarily on Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, the company's war comics. For his first few years at EC Severin worked in tandem with Bill Elder. Severin would pencil the stories while Elder would handle the inking. In addition to his art duties, Severin would eventually become editor of Two-Fisted Tales for its final issues in 1954. He later worked on Cracked magazine, a competitor of the satirical Mad.
John Severin worked on Marvel Comics' own Sgt. Fury, and drew the campy 2003 Marvel limited series The Rawhide Kid.
His sister, Marie Severin, is an equally well-regarded comics artist, caricaturist, cartoonist and colorist, best-known for her contributions to Marvel Comics, including work on the Hulk, the Sub-Mariner and Doctor Strange.
John Severin was nominated for a Best Inker (Humor Division) Shazam Award in 1973 and was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2003.
