Description
This is a lithographed, hand colored print by Marie Severin, (#2 of several she did) of the cover to Weird Fantasy #21 (1953), painted and published in 1973, as a cover to EC Portfolio #3 published by Russ Cochran. I really loved these when they came out. Russ was a pioneer publisher and his beautiful publications and great taste really had a profound influence on my future collecting... EC art, Herriman, Frazetta, and Raymond.. I collect them all today....the large sized, exquisitely produced EC Portfolios really showed me, and countless other collectors what great original black and white art looked like. These portfolios are amongst the finest fan publications ever produced. ..so, this 'fanzine' cover is iconic for me...not to mention it is certainly beautifully colored by the original EC colorist, and Wiliamson's and Frazetta's fine line work work make this one of the top EC covers!

Rob, This is yet another time when you pulled the trigger where I was too timid -- actually I've overspent in the past month and had no discretionary money to throw around. Congratulations on a wonderful piece -- my all time favourite cover. I agree with your sentiments on Russ Cochran and his publishing efforts -- they and the EC Portfolios and Graphic Galleries had a large impact on my collecting as well.
