shewhomustI'm no expert on Marie Severin, who died on 30th August aged 89 - and thankyou to the Ansible for passing on that news. If you want actual information, I recommend The Comics Journal, and here's a Newsarama obituary, with a delightful self-portrait.
But this much I can tell you from memory: she was a woman in Marvel's Bullpen during the Silver Age, which makes her pretty much unique. I associate her most of all with the Submariner, but she also drew Doctor Strange and that even odder Doctor, Howard the Duck's arch-enemy Doctor Bong. Not to mention 'Not Brand Ecch' - there's a reason why her credit line read "Mirthful Marie Severin".
