Over the past few decades I bought a lot of comic books and issues of Cracked solely because of John Severin. <br /><br />As the news of his death has slowly sunk into my brain the past couple of days I have gotten more reflective of what he has meant to American comic books and comic art fans. Mike Britt has encapsulated how I feel: "He was his own category in the comic book field." <br /><br />Thank you, Mike...you said succinctly what it would have taken me paragraphs to express.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-72467853785796234522012-02-16T02:42:23.566-08:002012-02-16T02:42:23.566-08:00Great tribute to a great artist.

Some obits I've read said he didn't have a flashy style. "Flashy" and "striking" must mean two different things, because whatever he lacked in the former, he cartainly made up for in the latter.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-43589698414789945712012-02-15T10:09:23.218-08:002012-02-15T10:09:23.218-08:00John was so kind and gracious when answering my fa...John was so kind and gracious when answering my fan-boy letter back in 1958 and he even sent me the two-page OK Corral art from CRACKED #4! It's hard to believe that I have been collecting his very special art for over a half century! He was his own category in the comic book field.Mike Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096636522530762132noreply@blogger.com
