Title: Carmine Infantino is 81! Post by: TELLE on May 24, 2006, 12:43:51 PM Silver Age giant, an artist associated with the Flash and Adam Strange at DC (and Nova and Spider-Woman at Marvel), art director and editor, one of the most unique stylists in comics.
Happy Birthday! Title: Re: Carmine Infantino is 81! Post by: Permanus on May 24, 2006, 12:57:44 PM I always liked Spider-Woman best: Infantino had just the right style for that title -- a bit weird, slightly skewed. It worked well with Jessica Drew's general sense of alienation and the dark mood of the book. Great stuff. Happy Birthday!

Good stuff, besides the fact that I got almost the whole series for 100 bucks! Happy Birthday! Title: Re: Carmine Infantino is 81!

I collected every cover he had pinned up.
He'll always be Uncle Carmine to me. And his Flash is THE Flash. And new look Bats! And Adam Strange..... |
