Joe Kubert cover/art; 1st app. of the Black Canary (Dinah Drake); dinosaur bondage cvrWhen Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino created Black Canary, who made her debut in this very issue, they probably didn't expect the character to become a long-lasting heroine in the DC lexicon, but, over seventy years later, she continues to be a popular character, and one of the first female heroes to appear in the publisher's output. Did we happen to mention the super-cool Lee Elias dinosaur cover? Dinosaurs are awesome.
Artists Information
High School of Art & Design alum Carmine Infantino got his start in the industry working Timely, a precursor to Marvel Comics, where he would do spot work on anthology features, in his first work at DC he helped create Black Canary and began his long-running involvement with the Flash during his Golden Age era, as well as illustrating the original Green Lantern. After the post-war comic book slump Infantino collaborated with writer Robert Kanigher and editor Julius Schwartz to help bring back superheroes and launch the Silver Age by updating the Flash in the pages of Showcase, the reboot was a huge success and led to the superhero rebirth that has continued into the modern day, Infantino's ability to capture speed and movement on a page made his Flash believable and engaging. Carmine was promoted to Art Director and then Publisher at DC over the course of his illustrious career,

In 1972, Elias came back to American comic books, working mainly on DC's various horror titles and secondary Marvel Comics titles including Power Man and The Human Fly. His last major project was The Rook series for Warren Publishing.
