Hate to see him go.  The first piece of original art I ever bought, at the first con I ever attended, the Dave Kaler con in NY City, was an Infantino Flash page, from an Elongated Man story.  I paid either $4 or $5 for it; I forget which. It was inked by Joe Giella rather than Murphy Anderson--I'd like to grab a Flash page inked by Anderson, but so far it's eluded me.  I did finally acquire an Infantino-Anderson Adam Strange page about a year ago.  I think many might have been happier--Infantino included--if he'd never left the drawing board to become editorial director/publisher.  But what do I know?

Although in the end, neither he nor Kirby seemed satisfied with the deal, Infantino's major accomplishment as publisher may have been luring Kirby to Marvel.  Few of Kirby's characters for DC have become major stars, but one villain--Darkseid--has indubitably become a DC universe superstar.  And for several generations of Kirby fans, either the New Gods or Kamandi defines Jack Kirby.
