Those four names are, shall we say, not insignificant in the saga of Aquaman. As I wrote elsewhere, the era when Infantino ran DC was an unparalleled time of creative risk taking and experimentation at the company. Creators got to follow their instincts and do unexpected things with comics in a way that could never ever happen today. A lot of great books were published then that wouldn't have happened anywhere without Infantino.<br /><br />(Carmine also gets a lot of heat for books being cancelled too quickly regardless of success, definitely the case with <i>Aquaman</i> -- but Mark Evanier makes the case that Infantino didn't really have a say in that process.)Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-5068363316384812922013-04-05T19:11:40.994-04:002013-04-05T19:11:40.994-04:00One of the best designers ever to grace the comic ...One of the best designers ever to grace the comic page.
