DescriptionInfinity Gauntlet #1 Pg. 32. Pencils by George Perez and Inks by Josef (Joe) Rubinstein & Tom Christopher. Written by Jim Starlin.Infinity Gauntlet #1 turns 30 years old today!! It was released on May 21, 1991! At least according to Google (ha). Thought I would share the page I own in my collection from this issue today to commemorate the occasion and important milestone for arguably the most important/impactful Marvel event series of the past 3 decades. It's influence on pop culture through the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is undeniable at this point. This page is the reveal of the shocking twist of the issue, and many years later shocked millions of movie fans as it was adapted into Marvel Studio's 2018 film, Avengers: Infinity War. Captain America is depicted by George Perez, in the immediate aftermath of the famous Thanos snap a few pages prior to this one, which "kills" half of all life in the universe. Captain America, who survives the snap, watches as his fellow Avenger Hawkeye, and Sersi of the Eternals, fade away & disappear or as I like to say, get "dusted" (or is it get "blipped" now?) at the Avengers mansion. The page is classic Perez, showcasing the abilities that have made him one of the most popular artists in comic book history. As millions of superhero movie fans across the globe now know, Thanos had gathered the six infinity gems (or stones as described in the films) from across the universe and placed them into a large glove called the Infinity Gauntlet. The combined powers of the gems could change reality and grant any wish. Thanos, the mad man of Titan, wished to destroy 50% of all living things in the universe in order to appease his beloved, the personification of Death. In the movies Thanos' motivation was altered to control the population of every planet in the universe to bring "balance". 30 years after its publication, Infinity Gauntlet remains one of the most popular stories in the history of Marvel Comics. George Perez, the master of universe shattering events, was the perfect artist to kickoff a truly epic event. Infinity Gauntlet was a key portion of writer Jim Starlin's second "Thanos Saga" that began in the pages of Silver Surfer #34 in 1990, reviving the characters and concepts he made popular in the 1970s. Today, millions of people around the globe have seen the adaptation of the events of Infinity Gauntlet in the first 3 phases of the MCU and especially in two of the biggest movies in the history of the industry, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, which became the highest grossing movie worldwide ever. Not only did I read this issue as a kid (one of the first Marvel comics I ever read growing up), but I distinctly remember sitting in the theater my first time watching Avengers: Infinity War...wondering...will they do it? WILL THEY DO IT?....holy hell...THEY DID IT...many 90s comic book readers/fans had some sort of idea what would happen next, after Thor failed to prevent Thanos from snapping with the Infinity Gauntlet in the film's many climactic moments. It was like being in the know and on the inside, while all the movie watchers had no clue what was about to happen. And then it happened. Our beloved Avengers started disappearing (it was Winter Soldier/Bucky who disappeared first in the film) and everyone felt shocked and gutted walking out of that film wondering how the story would unfold and end a year later in Avengers: Endgame. It was truly a memorable moment for me and many as a comic book fan and a movie fan. An Empire Strikes Back level shocking pop culture moment for a brand new generation. Is this page my holy grail? No. I don't believe I've achieved that yet in my collecting of Original Comic Art so far for what is most meaningful to me in my lifelong love for fiction, art, and storytelling in general. But it's damn near close. It's certainly the most significant moment in comic book and pop culture history that I have a representation of in my collection. And I absolutely treasure and adore it. Very Glad to share it today on this special 30 year anniversary of the seminal issue. NOT. FOR. SALE. Social/Sharing |

You're definitely on the edge of the rails with your terminology, but you're aware of it, which is what matters! As for the term "blipped", SO lame! Dusted is fresher and just plain cool, in an 80's way, like the word "fresh"! Of course, in the 80's you were definitely high on something if you were "dusted", especially in Brooklyn. Just ask The Beastie Boys. But yeah, way better than "blipped".
This is a terrific Captan America centric page, Kavi, from an incredibly important story. So, many kudos to you on acquiring this beauty, it's really fantastic!

Hahaha thanks Ruben I knew you'd appreciate my semi "grail" term mis-use yet self aware understanding of that fact, LOL. And I couldnt agree more> "Bilip" sounds pretty lame whereas "DUSTED" sounds edgy and extreme, perhaps to your exact point to old drug references but i think its prob more famous for the movie now lol...cause thats what me and all my friends were saving before Marvel Studios officially called it the Blip in the next Spider-Man film that followed in the MCU. oh well!! And thank you, I do love the expressions on all the faces on this page especially...the pure shock of it...in addition to the moment and the film connections I also dig the art. thanks buddy!

Magical page...shocking all of those loyal Marvel readers back when it came out, and then again to the world during the theatre release a generation or two later. Glad this epic page is in your hands!
