I met Mr. Infantino at my first and only SDCC in 2006. Just like Jerry Robinson, I walked right up, no waiting, spoke for a few minutes, got a sig or two and a quick sketch. He was very cordial and, as usual, I was too starstruck to make the most of the opportunity.

 

As my wife and I walked away, she asked why I was so happy with such a basic sketch. I had to explain what he had done, including work in the Golden Age, his redesign of the Flash, and years of work on Batman. I neglected his time at Marvel in the late 70s and early 80s, and while his time there certainly wasn't his pinnacle, it's still solid work.

 

My wife learned a little appreciation for comics history and I got to meet a giant!

 

Thanks, Carmine, you made many a day brighter, from childhood to just the last few months!
