![]() ![]() ![]() The GCD is an awesome, awesome website, but at the same time, just like everyone (certainly myself included), it occasionally gets things wrong, and I think there was a mistake here (I've since edited my own write-up on Severin's passing). Now, hopefully all of these newspapers were just doing what I did, which was to credit the available comic book credit information that we have, like the amazing Grand Comics Database, which lists Severin as the colorist on that issue. She was one of a handful of female artists who gained prominence during comics’ so-called Silver Age, from the mid-1950s until the early ’70s. She started in the industry in 1949 as a colorist for EC Comics, working with her brother, John Severin, an artist known for his realistic war and western comics. ![]() Since then, I've seen plenty of obituaries of Severin, like this one from the New York Times, that credit that same timeline: ![]()

Because, to two narrators telling the story, they are truth. The storyline is built upon lies and deception and the narrative is built upon the relating of lies and deception as if they were truth. An omniscient all-knowing narrator could have told this story, but it would feel like a monumental cheat. The novel is an exercise in the value of point of view to tell a story. Twisted as this may be semantically, it is perfectly applied to the structure of Fingersmith.
