	Talent Pool 18 - Carmine Infantino (Nov 1999)
		Born in New York in 1925, Carmine Infantino would belong to a generation of comics artists born within a five year period including Gil Kane (1923), John Buscema (1926), Nick Cardy (1924?), Curt Swan, John Severin, Wally Wood, and many other noteworthies of the medium who worked in comics in the 1960s.
		Infantino came to the height of his power just as the Silver Age began to end, sales-wise, and found himself having to scramble to attempt to keep a sinking boat afloat for several years.
		Infantino's reputation and analysis of his statements suggest that he has a rugged character and probably can take as much as former employees claim he once dished out.

	Carmine Infantino Interview - Comic Book Artist #1 - TwoMorrows Publishing
		Carmine: I have to be honest-that was Irwin Donenfeld.
		Carmine: The story was that somebody said that they were going to start a union and they were going to pull all the cartoonists out of DC Comics-not Marvel, just DC.
		Carmine: Not for me. The only thing I remember is Jim talking to me at a convention and complaining that DC was coming out with a character whose name Jim said he owned.

		The tales were created by writers (Gardner Fox, John Broome), an artist (Carmine Infantino) and editor (Julius Schwartz) who frequently worked for the anthology sf comic books Mystery in Space and Strange Adventures.
		Fox and Infantino do not caricature their opponents, or make them out to be villains or in any way dishonest.
		Infantino frequently showed gracious outdoor plazas on Rann and other futuristic worlds; this campus scene has something of the same effect, although consistent with present day Earth landscaping ideas.

	Sequart.com News: Infantino V. DC Dismissed
		Carmine Infantino's suit against DC Comics, claiming copyright of many DC characters, has been dismissed at his request.
		Infantino's complaint alleged that the revised Flash and his Rogues Gallery were based on Captain Whiz and the Colors of Evil, characters Infantino had privately created years before.
		Infantino may have been persuaded by the weakness of his case, particularly if he lacked evidence of those creations he adapted -- though this is only and entirely speculation.

	Alphabetti Fumetti: I is for Infantino
		Carmine Infantino is one of those artists whose work is far less well known among the younger sections of today's comics fanbase than it should be.
		Infantino returned to freelance pencilling, but his years away from the drawing board had taken their toll, and his work was a shadow of what it had once been.
		Infantino was handed a poison chalice, captaining the ship as it went down, and it's a sorry tale of how the industry and the artform of comics are never as compatible as they might seem.

	TwoMorrows Publishing - Carmine Infantino Interview - Kirby Collector Thirtyfourth Issue

		CARMINE: I called Joe and I said, "Joe, my kid brother would like to get a job working in the industry." And we were friends and Joe said, "Well, send him up." And then he took to liking him-my brother was very likable and also he was very talented.
		CARMINE: Yeah, and apparently in the contract they had with each other they were supposed to split three ways: The Wood brothers, Kirby, and Schiff being the what-do-you-call-it-he sold the strip.

	[No title]
		In my mind, the ground-breaking sleek design work Infantino is so justly celebrated for has been somehow overshadowed by tales of the no-nonsense gruff executive bigwig, and much as I'd like to say otherwise, this tome doesn't exactly serve to dispel that image.
		Oh, Infantino goes on to explain that he felt that part of his job was clearly to fix as much stuff as needed to be fixed and to do it for the company, not for any personal glory.
		Infantino himself says what he learned was monumental, and just by looking at what subsequently wound up down on the page, one is hard pressed to argue with him.

		Infantino said, "When I first designed the character, I didn't know what to come up with, so someone said, 'design your ideal woman.' So I did and that was what became the Canary.
		Infantino had been working on several characters of his own through the years, and had one that he thought fit perfectly with this idea.
		When Infantino was overseas the space traveling hero, Adam Strange made his debut, so he didn't get to work on the first issue, but Julie Schwartz always had him in mind for drawing the series.
