Hall of Fame artist John Severin, one of the last of the legendary EC artists, has died at age 90. Severin—whose sister Marie was also a famed artist and colorist for Marvel—was among the greatest draftsmen of the EC crew. He was especially well known for his Western comics, which were meticulously researched and elegant in their line, but he also excelled at barbarian comics (Kull was a Marvel hit) and humor: his work for CRACKED Magazine was inspired and almost singlehandedly made it a worthy competitor for MAD.

In recent years he had continued to work, notably on The Rawhide Kid in 2003, a controversial gay western; he also worked on The Punisher and B.P.R.D.
