San Diego Comic People ID Part 2
Today and tomorrow I'll be giving some short bios of other
individuals who were at the recent San Diego convention.
Carmine Infantino: I’d mentioned the importance of Infantino
to modern comic books before. He was along with Joe Kubert
and the recently deceased Alex Toth was one of the major art
stylist at DC Comics from the 1950s through the 1970s and
beyond. He not only penciled Flash, but also the well remembered
Adam Strange, Batman and was later Art Director and publisher
of DC Comics. He later did work for Marvel, Warren and returned to
DC in the 1980s. Several years ago an excellent autobiography
was produced on his life called the Amazing World of Carmine Infantino.

in the 1960s and 1970s.
