JOHN SEVERIN'S CRACKED MONSTERS

JOHN SEVERIN (1921 - 2012) WAS A FAVOURITE COMIC BOOK ARTIST OF MINE. 

Whether he was drawing countless stories in CRACKED MAZAGINE that I enjoyed as a kid or else in comic books ranging from horror to westerns, Severin's beautiful line-work was superlative.  As a starter treat for the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN, I thought I'd post a few examples of John Severin's Halloweeny artwork (remember to click on the pictures to biggify them):
