The Short Box: A Comic Book Talk Show

Ep.322 - Marie Severin: The "Mirthful Mistress of Comics" (Artist Spotlight)

The Short Box Season 7

The late great Marie Severin gets the spotlight treatment this week. The "Mirthful Mistress of Comics" is best known for her color and art contributions for EC Comics during its heyday in the 50's, and later taking her talents to Marvel Comics for a long and successful career, where she had a hand in co-creating characters like the Living Tribunal, Spider-Woman, and more! She passed away in 2018, and it’s long overdue that we highlight her contributions to comics and discuss why she’s an artist you should know about.
