Early years
Carmine Infantino at his family's apartment in Brooklyn. His father, Pascali “Patrick” Infantino, also from New York, was originally a musician: saxophonist , clarinet player and violinist in the same group as composer . However, impoverished during the years of the Great Depression , Infantino Sr. got a job as a plumber. The mother of Carmine Infantino, Angela Rosa Della Badia, was an emigrant from the mountain town of Calitri, which is located northeast of Naples [5] .
Carmine Infantino attended two high schools in Brooklyn, and then went to the School of Industrial Design (now the ) in Manhattan [6] . In his first year of study, Infantino began working for , whose studio was one of the few "suppliers" of comics, that is, those who created full comics for subsequent publication by a publisher hoping to become part of the Golden Age of comics in the 1930s and 1940s . As Infantino recalled:
As a boy, I often went around companies trying to meet certain people there - but nothing happened. And then one day I went to one office on 23rd Street, an old broken warehouse, and there I met Harry Chesler. They told me that he was an evil person, that he used people, and he recruited artists. But with me he was affectionate. He said: “Listen, boy. Now you will rise here and I will give you a dollar a day, just study art, learn and grow. ” I thought it would be damn great on his part. And for the whole summer he did what he promised [6] .
Original textI used to go around as a youngster into companies, go in and try to meet people - nothing ever happened. One day I went to this place on 23rd Street, this old broken-down warehouse, and I met Harry Chesler . Now, I was told he was a mean guy and he used people and he took artists. But he was very sweet to me. He said, 'Look, kid. You come up here, I'll give you a dollar a day, just study art, learn, and grow. ' That was damn nice of him, I thought. He did that for me for a whole summer.
Career
Infantino began by working as a contourist , inking the pencil drawings of , published in USA Comics # 3 (cover date January 1942) by Timely Comics , the predecessor of Marvel Comics. In his autobiography, he wrote:
... Frank Jacoia and I constantly interacted. Once in the 1940s, we decided to contact Timely Comics, ... and try to find work there. They gave us a script called Jack Frost, and it was our first published work. Frank worked with a pencil, and I made outlines. was our editor, and he offered us to work on staff. Frank dropped out and agreed. I desperately wanted to follow him and told my father that this was a great opportunity. In response, he said: “No way! You will finish school! ” Things went very badly, we badly needed money, but he still did not allow me to drop out of school. He added: “School is more important. If you are so good, there will always be work for you. ” I could not help but love him for that. So Frank found a job, but I didn’t. I was 15 or 16 years old and continued to turn around in the 1940s in search of freelance work, continuing my studies [7] .
Original text... Frank Giacoia and I were in constant contact. One day in '40 we decided to go up to Timely Comics ... to see if we could get some work. They gave us a script called 'Jack Frost' and that story became our first published work. Frank did the pencils and I did the inking. Joe Simon was the editor and he offered us both a staff job. Frank quit school and took the job. I wanted desperately to quit school and I told my father that it was a great opportunity. He said, 'No way! You're gonna finish school. ' Things were very bad, he was desperate for money, but he wouldn't let me quit school. He said, 'School comes first. If you're that good, the job will be there later. ' I can't love the man enough for that. So Frank took the job and I didn't. I was 15 or 16 and I just kept making my rounds in the early '40s, looking for freelance work while continuing my studies.
Infantino eventually worked for several publishers during the 1940s, painting stories of the Torchman and the Angel for Timely; Airboy and Heap stories for Hillman Periodicals [8] ; worked for comic book provider , who created comics for Fawcett Comics; short time at Holyoke Publishing; subsequently finally entrenched in DC Comics. The first published work for DC was The Black Canary ( Black Canary ), a six-page story by Johnny Thunder for the release of Flash Comics # 86 (August 1947), which presented readers with a new superhero - Black Canary [9] . The name Infantino has long been associated with Flash mythology, on which he worked from the plot of The Secret City ( Russian "The Secret City" ) for the release of All-Flash # 31 (October-November 1947) [10] . In addition, he became a regular artist for Golden Age Lantern stories and the Justice Society of America [8] .
During the 1950s, Infantino freelance worked for Joe Simon and Jack Kirby's publishing house, Prize Comics, painting stories about Charlie Chen . Upon returning to DC in a period of decline in interest in superheroes, Infantino painted westerns , detective stories with elements of mysticism, science fiction comics [8] .
Silver Age of Comics
In 1956, the editor Julius Schwartz instructed the writer Robert Kaniger and Carmine to make the first attempt to revive the stories of superheroes: to create a new version of Flash, which was supposed to appear in a trial release of Showcase # 4 (October 1956). Infantino created the acclaimed uniform with a yellow badge on his chest (reminiscent of the superhero Captain Marvel from the Fawcett comics), trying to make the costume as streamlined as possible. A new visual language was created in order to depict Flash's speed - vertical and horizontal lines of movement that turned the hero into a yellow-red blurred spot. The triumphal success of the new science-fiction-oriented Flash ushered in the universal return of superheroes and the beginning of what fans and historians call the Silver Age of Comics [11]
Infantino drew Flash of Two Worlds , an iconic [12] story published in The Flash # 123 (September 1961), introducing Earth-2 and the concept of the multiverse DC Comics [13] . Infantino continued to work for Julius Schwartz, creating plots and comic book series, especially on stories about Adam Strange for the series of issues of Mystery in Space ( Rus. "Secrets of the cosmos" ), replacing the creator of the character, Mike Secowski. In 1964, Julius Schwartz was made responsible for the revival of the almost-closed series of stories about Batman . Writer John Broome and artist Carmine Infantino got rid of the stupid in their opinion details that crept into the series (like the Batman dog and Bat Might ) and created a “new vision” of Batman and Robin, now more focused on the genre of detective and with more competently composed stories that turned the series into a hit [14] .
Among other stories and characters that Infantino worked for DC Comics include the plot of The Space Museum ( Russian "Space Museum" ) and the character of the Lengthening Man. Together with Gardner Fox, Infantino introduced Barbara Gordon to the public as a new version of Batgirl in Detective Comics # 359 (January 1967) [15] . Writer Arnold Drake, along with Infantino, created the supernatural superhero Deadman and introduced him in Strange Adventures # 205 (October 1967) [16] [17] . This story included the first known drug description in comic books that was censored [18] .
After the death of Wilson McCoy, the Phantom comic book artist, Infantino ended one of his stories. Infantino was a candidate for a position as a permanent comic book artist about the Phantom, but the work went to artist Seymour Barry [19] .
DC Comics Editor-in-Chief
In late 1966 - early 1967. Irwin Donenfield appointed Infantino a cover design designer for all DC publications. Stan Lee found out about this and offered Infantino $ 22,000 to go to Marvel. Publisher Jack Lebovitz confirmed that DC Comics could not offer more, but they could raise Infantino to art director. Initially refused, Infantino accepted the “challenge” of Lebovitz, agreeing to a raise, and remained in DC [20] . When DC Comics was sold to the Kinney National Company, Infantino was again promoted, already to the chief editor. He began with a search for new talents and a series of personnel reshuffles. So he hired Joe Giordano, who left Charlton Comics, and artists Joe Orlando, Joe Coubert and Mike Secowski became editors. Also, as new talents, the writer Danny O'Neill and the artist Neil Adams were involved in the publishing house. Several old characters received new stories thanks to Danny O'Neill, including Wonder Woman [21] , Batman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow and Superman [22] .
In 1970, Infantino, on behalf of DC Comics, signed a contract with legendary Marvel Comics artist Jack Curby . Starting with the plot of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen ( Rus. “Jimi Olsen, Superman's buddy” ) Jack Curby worked on the Fourth World saga ( Rus. “The Fourth World” ), which intertwined with the existing series, and three new ones created by himself, the series. After the saga was closed, Jack Curby worked on several episodes, including episodes of OMAC characters (One-Man Army Corps, Russian “Army Corps in One Person” ), Kamandi, Demon, and, together with former partner Joe Simon, Sandman’s new incarnation, until his return to Marvel in 1975.
DC Comics Publisher
Infantino became the publisher of DC Comics in 1971, during a period of declining print runs for comic books, and he attempted to make changes. To begin with, he increased the cost indicated on the cover from 15 to 25 cents per copy, but at the same time increased the number of pages in the issue, adding a reprint and some other additional features [23] . A competing publisher, Marvel Comics, responded to price increases by setting a value for its circulations of 20 cents per copy of one issue; DC Comics kept the previous price, 25 cents, which had a bad effect on total sales [24] [25] .
Infantino and comic book writer Len Wayne together created the Human Target storyline by publishing it on the pages of Action Comics # 419 (December 1972) [26] . The plot was adapted into the mini-series of the ABC channel, where Rick Springfield played the main role. The series premiered in July 1992 [27] .
After consulting Mario Puzo, a screenwriter, about two screen versions of Superman comic books ( Superman and Superman 2 [28] [29] ), Infantino began working with Marvel Comics to release a historical crossover between Marvel and DC universes - Superman vs. Amazing Spider-Man ( Eng. Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man ). In January 1976, Infantino replaced Jenneth Kahn, a newcomer to the field, as a publisher. Infantino returned to the profession of a freelance artist.
Further career
Infantino later worked on many series of stories for Warren Publishing and Marvel, including the Star Wars series [30] , Spider-Woman [31] and Nova. His brief collaboration with Jim Shooter as a result led to the appearance of the character Palladin in the issue of Daredevil # 150 (January 1978) [32] . While Infantino worked on comic books about the Star Wars universe, this was the most popular publication in the comic book industry [33] . In 1981, Infantino returned to DC Comics and, together with writer Marv Wolfman, created a restart of the Dial H for Hero story ( Russian: “To call a hero, type“ Eich ” ), published in a special booklet inserted into the Legion of Super-Heroes # 272 (February 1981) [34] . He and writer Carey Bates released an additional story about Batman in Detective Comics # 500 (March 1981) [35] [36] . Infantino later returned to work on a series of Flash stories by publishing The Flash # 296 (April 1981). He became the artist of The Flash # 300 (August 1981), which came out in a one-dollar comic book [37] , and also the double-issue artist of Justice League of America # 200 (March 1982) [38] .
Other projects of the 1980s included pencil drawings for The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl series ( Russian “Brave New Adventures of Supergirl” ), [39] , the miniseries Red Tornado ( Russian “Red Tornado” ) and the comic book edition for the television series V ( a two-part mini-series, according to which in 2009 a remake was created under the name " Visitors "). In 1990, he replaced Marshal Rogers as the artist of the newspaper publication about Batman and remained on it until the publication was closed a year later [40] . In the 1990s, Infantino was a teacher at the School of Fine Arts, and then retired [41] . Despite this, he still appeared at some comic book conventions at the beginning of the 21st century [42] .
In 2004, Infantino won a lawsuit against DC for copyrights to those characters that he authored while working freelance. Among them are some characters in Flash stories, in particular Wally West , Iris West , Captain Cold , Captain Boomerang, Magister of Mirrors, Gorilla Grodd , as well as The Lengthening Man and Batgirl. [43]
Infantino wrote or contributed to the writing of two books about his life and career: The Amazing World of Carmine Infantino ( Russian "The Amazing World of Carmine Infantino" ; Vanguard Productions, ISBN 1-887591-12-5 ) and Carmine Infantino: Penciler, Publisher, Provocateur ( Rus. “Carmine Infantino: Pencil Artist, Publisher, Provocateur” ; Tomorrows Publishing, ISBN 1-60549-025-3 )
Infantino was the uncle of Jim Infantino, a musician for Jim's Big Ego [44]. He is also the creator of the 2003 album cover for They're Everywhere (The They Are Everywhere), which has a song about Flash - The Ballad of Barry Allen ( Russian "Ballad of Barry Allen" ) [45] .
Death
Infantino died on April 4, 2013, at the age of 87, at his home in Manhattan, leaving no living direct heirs [4] .
In a DC Comics official statement, co-publisher Dan Didio said there are few people in the world who have had the same impact on the comic book industry as Carmine Infantino did. He also noted that Infantino became the link between the Golden and Silver centuries of comic books, accompanying the publisher at the most successful moments and setting directions for the development of characters that are noticeable even today. Didio also promised that Carmine Infantino’s legacy would remain with DC Comics forever. [46]
