In the late 1960s and early 1970s,
Marie Severin also drew or designed a great many covers for just about every Marvel title.
If she didn't care for superheroes, it certainly didn't show in her work.
Her rough cover layouts from this period, even if given to other artists to work from, are often works of art in themselves.
Her figures are bold and dynamic, the action ferocious and explosive and gripping, with a level of violence toned down by other artists.
She was outdoing the men at their own game, letting loose as the heroes and villains smashed through brick walls and pulverized and mangled each other furiously, almost murderously.
The bold lines and brush strokes made it seem like Marie held her pencils and brushes in an angry, clenched fist.
