Description

(February 1987) (DC Comics) Designed like that of a vintage movie poster, this incredible page 1 title splash has the entire JSA featured: Green Lantern, Doctor Fate, Starman, Spectre, Hawkman, Doctor Mid-Nite, Johnny Thunder, Flash, Hourman, Black Canary, Atom, Sandman, Wildcat, and Fury (of Infinity, Inc.). IMHO, Todd McFarlane’s “Infinity, Inc. #35” page 1 title splash is not only the best page in this entire issue, but it’s most definitely a “cover quality image” that is better than many of the covers in the “Infinity, Inc.” 50-Issue Series. Simply put, no artist illustrates “capes” like Todd McFarlane does and with this “Infinity, Inc. #35” page 1 title splash, he literally went into “capes overload”! Originally won from “Heritage Auctions” on December 7, 2002, it would take 20-Years to complete my goal of attaining signatures from the 4-Chief Creative Talents that rendered this majestic page 1 title splash: Todd McFarlane, Tony DeZuniga, Roy Thomas and his wife, Dann Thomas. Todd McFarlane’s autograph I got when he was doing a rare, early McFarlane Toys MLB action figure release signing appearance at the Toys “R” Us flagship store in NYC’s Times Square. Several years later, a close friend of mine met Tony DeZuniga at a convention in California which is where he had him sign this stunning page 1 title splash. While Roy Thomas would occasionally attend comic book conventions, Dann Thomas would rarely do so. On the unique chance that Dann Thomas would travel to a show with her husband, Roy Thomas, she would usually do anything in town but attend the convention where her husband was a guest. Well, on Saturday November 19, 2022 I finally scored autographs by both Roy & Danette Thomas at “The 2022-New Jersey CollectorFest”! This very special show saw Roy Thomas making his first East Coast post COVID-19 con appearance which had a glorious VIP gathering celebrating Roy’s 82nd Birthday. So, after 20-Years of great perseverance and patience, my quest has ultimately been completed. ‘Nuff said. (13” x 20”) (Antony de Zuñiga: 11/8/1932 to 5/11/2012)

Keif, a truly stunning and significant splash. It features so many of DC's most revered characters, especially Dr Fate, a personal favorite. Reading your description about your quest to get all the signatures was astounding to say the least. It did not surprise me though. Because I witnessed firsthand how diligently and intensely you persue your creator signatures. It's almost supernatural how you managed to obtain some of them. Congrats on another stunner for your amazing collection.
