I forgot all about Semper Fi. How many issues did Severin do?
Gotta pick them up.
Severin was a prodigious talent, but sadly always overshadowed by even better artists like Wally Wood at EC or artists with more flamboyant styles like Jack Kirby at Marvel.
If you look at the Witchfinder mini-series he recently did at Dark Horse, he still had the right chops as an octogenarian.

So true. Wood was one of the top 5 comic artist of all-time, and my favorite Kirby work was his Challengers of the Unknown, inked by Woody. Where as Wood's was well suited for every genre imaginable, Severin's art worked best with war , western and humor. This is where he gets underrated by the younger generation of comic fan. Can you imagine what he might have done inking Buscema's work on The Avengers in the '60's , or even pencilling it? Possibly would have been too gritty realistic and 20-30 years ahead of its time. IMHO.
