SDCC Comic Con International San Diego - CARMINE INFANTINO - Silver Age Comic Book ArtistPosted Jul-13-06 06:33:30 PDT Updated Jul-15-06 17:26:14 PDT Thursday July 20th, Carmine Infantino, who co-started the Silver Age of Comics with the Flash in Showcase #4, will be featured at a program at the Comic Con Int'l as follows: 3:30-4:30 Spotlight on Carmine Infantino— His career spans the Golden and Silver Ages of comics, but Carmine Infantino is best remembered for his incredible work at DC in the 50s and 60s. As an artist, he reenvisioned the Flash and jump-started the Silver Age. He reinvigorated Batman, redesigned Batgirl, and was the artist on such fan favorites as Adam Strange and The Elongated Man. In the mid-1960s he took over DC as editorial director, then publisher. The AACC’s David Armstrong interviews Mr. Infantino about his illustrious career. Room 2 We are hoping to take that program in, there are a few others that are running about the same time, but we have heard Carmine interviewed before, and he is a good speaker with a good memory of that era !
