Carmine Infantino- Never forgotten.

In this week a 87 year old ex-Prime Minister died, last week an inspiring American artist aged 87 also passed away. That's were the comparison ends. Although he will always be remembered for his DC work on the likes of Bat-man and Flash, I'll always remember Carmine Infantino for his work on Spider-Woman, Nova, the Avengers and of course Star Wars strips that found their way to the UK in the late 70's and early 80's, in Marvel UK magazines like Spider-man and the Hulk weekly, Spider-man, Rampage weekly, Rampage monthly, Marvel Super-Heroes and Star Wars weekly, at the same time as the Iron Lady first came to power. His stories, more often than not with Marv Wolfman as writer, filled this young reader with a fix of escapism.
Carmine Infantino born in Brooklyn New York on the 24th of May 1925, died on 4th of April 2013.

May he rest in peace.

Make mine Marvel.
