DESCRIPTION
A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
Marie Severin art; cover prelim; 1969; image size 6.75" x 10.25"Great cover proposal by Severin for the story 'The Monarch and the Mystic' featuring Subby teamed up with Doctor Strange (in his short lived full mask). The final cover went with a version that swapped the characters , but ended up being a less dynamic composition. Wonderfully realized in ink and colored markers by Severin. Art is in excellent condition.
Artist Information
Marie Severin was an American comics artist and colorist best known for her work for Marvel Comics and the 1950s' EC Comics. She is an inductee of the Will Eisner Comics Hall of Fame and the Harvey Awards Hall of Fame. Frank Jacobs, in his 1972 biography of EC publisher William M. Gaines, wrote, "There was Marie Severin, Gaines's colorist, and a very moral Catholic, who made her feelings known by coloring dark blue any panel she thought was in bad taste. [EC editor Al] Feldstein called her 'the conscience of EC."'
