She and brother John on Kull were the perfect synthesis of 2 dynamic talents and brought a uniqueness combined that they didn't have separately. Sorry I never got to meet her. I didn't get to enjoy as much of Gary Friedrich's work as he mostly worked in genres I shunned at the time, Westerns and War. But I did love his Hell-Rider, Ghost Rider and Hulk work. I don't think he had a long run on any of Marvel's established heroes at the time (Probably because those helming them wouldn't give them up).<br />keythd23https://www.blogger.com/profile/00690368680707726203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-9736851323726025162018-09-01T07:25:55.542-04:002018-09-01T07:25:55.542-04:00I loved Hell-Rider.

Of Not Brand Echh. Marie Severin's art in that series is perfection to me. It is physically impossible for me not to smile when viewing her artwork. I can scarcely think of another artist whose personality emanated and shown so brightly from their creations. Those that knew her personally were doubly blessed, it is truly a loss for many of us that her health prevented her from doing public appearances in her later years. Her art is her legacy, very thankful we can hold on to that.Condolences to her family.

Marie Severin was legendary for her warmth and humor, but also some truly amazing artwork.<br />I have always found her work on Dr. Strange (under the title Strange Tales, I believe) to be particularly wild and compelling, a perfect fit for that comic. <br />Just a great lady all around.
