Carmine Infantino is a comic legend who had worked in comics in the early days and had great success in ushering in the Silver Age of Comics,mostly working at DC he did a fair amount of work for Marvel in the 70s'. He is resposible for desgining the costume of Flash as we know him today in the famous Showcase#4 and later designed Barbara Gordon when DC assigned him to design a character for Gardner Fox in "The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl" so she could be transferred to the t.v. show. His drawing style was simple and definitely captures the look of 1960s' art especially at DC. He retired from drawing in the early 90s'. In 2004 after drawing two tribute issues to legendary editor Julius Schwartz he had soured relations with DC in his attempt to gain copyrights of the four heroes he co-created Barbara Gordon,Wally West,Barry Allen, and Ralph Dibney. A legend in comics has gone on.
