An obit for Marie Severin in The New York Times. [Caution: Quotes me.]
Rob Hansen takes issue with me saying that "She was also at times, an in-house censor. The EC books sometimes featured gore and a wee bit of sex and when Marie was called upon to color such scenes, she made her disapproval felt by coloring those panels dark blue or dark red, minimizing what was seen." Rob points me to an interview where Marie said that censoring was never her intention.
I dunno. I think I'm going to stand by what I wrote for now. Conscious intention or not, what she did was certainly regarded as I described by the others at EC including publisher Bill Gaines and editor Al Feldstein. They both described the result just as I said. I'll investigate further when I (ha!) have time.
And continuing with our discussion of whether anyone who worked for EC Comics is still alive: Art Lortie believes we have confirmation that Jules Feiffer (still alive) ghost-penciled one or two stories for EC, both finished by Wally Wood and maybe his then-partner Harry Harrison. In the recent book The Life and Legend of Wally Wood, Wood is quoted as saying he had Feiffer pencil "one or two stories," one of which was "Werewolf" in Vault of Horror #14. Another possible is "Only Time Will Tell" in Weird Fantasy #13. Perhaps someone can ask Mr. Feiffer to confirm or deny.
