Do you remember that job? I'm pretty sure it was your only DC work, at least up to that time. Anyway, everything made me nervous back then, and you put me so at ease I never forgot it. Thank you for your kindness, for the amazing pin-up, and for all of your beautiful drawing and coloring. Get well soon, Tom Peyer Dear Marie,

Many of the great experiences of my fan life involved enjoying the art of both Severins. Thanks for all the joy, and I hope you're feeling better soon! Jeff Marie,

Of course you're already cracking wise about this stroke thing. I can hear it now, every pun and wordplay your sharp brain can bring to bear on the (scary) subject. And I'd really love to see the cartoon version that you are imagining, if not yet drawing. Thinking of you, kiddo. Will write a note this weekend. And I'm sending prayers and any stray angels I can summon out to Long Island. Love, LAF Marie! Of course you’re already cracking wise about this stroke thing.

You and Dave Cockrum (RIP, sadly) were very kind to a younf upstart, taking time to talk to me about drawing and comics in general. I never forgot that encounter, as it reinforced the kind of great people I always suspected drew comics for the House of Marvel. My own late father suffered a number of strokes with a stalwartness, an unwillingless to give in, and I hope you do so as well; your patience will guide you along, and given time you should recover as fully as possible. All our best, Sonja and Geof. Dear Marie,

I well remember the time you took to explain coloring to me up at Marvel, including the chart with the codes! I still have a complete set of DR. Martin's, tho it sees little use since I don't do a lot of color stuff. Recovery ain't easy but I found just trying to do a little more each day is the way to get it done.

Her covers and splash pages were a particular delight. Marie's delightful drawings were the anchor for "Not Brand Echh," of course. In 1978 I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mirthful Marie at the now-defunct cartoon museum in Port Chester, NY. Besides being a consummate comics professional, Marie is also one of the nicest people on the planet. Best wishes to Marie for a speedy and complete recovery!

But if this message is getting passed along to her, I just want to say that she has been one of my favorite humor artists since I got a coverless copy of Not Brand Echh as a Halloween treat when I was 10. Her talent has been a joy to me since then and, while underappreciated by the masses, has been greatly appreciated by me. I am sorry that her health has turned bad and I hope for a full and speedy recovery. We all love you, Ms. Severin. Marie Severin doesn’t know me.

She drew me a Dr. Strange in late '97 that is still the absolute highlight of my sketchbook. Marie is one of my heroes.
