Famous Cartoonist Button 42
John Severin is
best known as one of the talented core that made E.C. comics
justifiably famous. His sister Marie was also a part of the E.C.
team. He is particularly respected for the authenticity of his
western stories. In later years Severin was a regular
contributor to Cracked. He has recently contributed to
DC Comics.
About the Buttons:
Pinback Jack issued
this "Famous Cartoonist Series" of self-portrait buttons
back in 1975. All of the participating cartoonists were
alive and created self-portraits specifically for this button
set. With very few exceptions, the images have not appeared elsewhere
in print. The buttons were distributed by Krupp Comic Works
and Phil Seuling. This set was originally announced as
52 buttons, and the alphabetical numbering reflects
that. However, two artists (Neal Adams and Rick Meyerowitz)
turned in their self-portraits late, after the first 52 had already
been designed. They were included in the set, but numbered 53
and 54 respectively, out of alphabetical sequence. Steve Krupp's
Curio Shoppe is now the exclusive source of the remaining limited
inventory.
All the color buttons in this set are metal
with clear celluloid covers, are 2.25 inches in diameter, and
have "safety" pinbacks. This button is listed for sale
as an individual, but we do offer the complete set as well.
