I don't really think Severin would've meshed well with John Buscema, who needed a softer, lusher brush, which was so splendidly provided by inkers like George Klein and Tom Palmer.
You're perfectly right in saying Severin's inking was 'gritty', which basically precluded it from slick science fiction or superheroics, but it also made him so great at more realistic genres like War, Westerns, HorrorĀ and even Sword & Sorcery. I loved his work on Kull and I wish he and Marie had done a hundred issues together.His b&w work at Warren was also first rate and I have been urging for an artist-centric Warren volume from Dark Horse devoted to him for ages.Sadly, I doubt it will happen.
Severin and Wood were so great on 'Creeps' in Creepy #78.
Irony and subtly are the first casualties in the eternal battle of wits between people divided by a common language. So read between the lines or you'll fall through the cracks...
