John Severin at Atlas/Marvel


I tell ya.... when doing these posts, I try to get a hold of scans from an artists "hotest" period of work in the comics field..... well I had a real hard time on this one. Just when wasn't John Severin smokin' hot? From his earliest stuff with Will Elder until.... now! He has consistently pulled off some amazing ink work. So I've narrowed this down to his Atlas-Marvel era stuff. After a few early covers here, you'll find an incredible Nick Fury story, laid (out by Kirby)and a nice Tarzan parody, done with his sister Marie!... at the bottom there are a few scans of original art that are just mind boggling.... that is if your another weirdo like me who thinks cross hatching and brush feathering are important concerns. in life
