I knew that Infantino did a wide range of work but always associated him with The Flash. It is great to learn more about and sample his other projects.

Looks like this debate has been finally put to rest and Cap #5 as Stan Lee's first story can be thrown out.<br />Doc V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06815470072568462626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-22602286218158963452013-04-14T09:53:59.733-07:002013-04-14T09:53:59.733-07:00I never trusted Mike's Amazing World Of Comics...I never trusted Mike's Amazing World Of Comics dates as he doesn't reference where he got them.<br /><br />BUT, there is another source.<br /><br />There is a US Gov. publication called the<br />Catalog of Copyright Entries. It is put out by the Library of Congress. <br />This publication "includes any printed and published copyright deposits"<br />that they receive. I believe that means that they record the date that<br />they receive the publication listed. Don't know exactly how they line up<br />with on sale dates, but I believe it is the official copyright date.<br /><br />A bunch of these catalogs are on on the internet. 1941 happens to one of<br />them. From Vol 36, 1941 part 2:<br /><br />USA Comics v1 #1 (Aug) copyrighted May 15 pg 384 1941<br /><br />CA Comics V.2 #5 (Aug) copyrighted May 27 pg 288 1941<br /><br />All Winners v1 #1 (Summer) copyrighted May 19 pg 140 1941<br /><br />I would assume that the copyright dates are at least in the order that<br />they received their copies. If so, CA Comics #5 might actually be his<br />third comic book story.<br />Tim Strouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593148450096670327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-45978828148476941122013-04-10T14:11:22.057-07:002013-04-10T14:11:22.057-07:00Very interesting and complete overview. I agree on...Very interesting and complete overview. I agree ont the early tories. I see no Infantino there, no connection to his other work at the time. You could ave mentioned that the silhouetted skyline was the reason for some to attribute some of these to Infantino. If the Vampire story was by Stan Lee... I think so. Argument against: it starts wit a flash forward splash, which Lee rarely used in the fifties and the fact that there is no slang, which Stan Lee managed to include in almost every story he wrote (especially the westerns). Argument in favor: the tone of the story, the use of thru instead of through and the fact that it is seven pages. No one got to do seven pages in Stan's books, except Stan himself. There also is a 'silent' sequence with running commentary - which Lee was fond of using (and whoch he could only do because he gave himself an extra page). You know of course, that there was a part to to this story, by George Tuska? As fr the question if Kane inked the second half: I always assumed that there were a result of Infantino looking for a different, more designy look - coming from the Caniff/Kirby nfluenced style he used before that - letting the look be determined by the inking of Peddy and Starr. Therefore, I though he inked those himself (as he said to you). They look like his solo stuff for Warren many years later. And some of the solo work he did for DC, such as the Elongated Man. So if other inkers were involved, I believe he at least pencilled these very cleanly. Almost like Kirby pencilled his own stuff very sharply whe he didn't ink it himself in the fifties.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.com
