Carmine Infantino Passed Away?

Posts on my Facebook and Twitter feeds are saying that Carmine Infantino passed away today. Can anyone verify this? I haven't seen anything reported on a comics or news website about it yet.

I havent found any official statements yet but it seems like its legit... damn

RIP one of the most legendary greats

If he did it would be updated on Wikipedia, which update that kind of stuff INSTANTLY.

They need an official source before officially posting his death otherwise you might read that the new batmobile looks like a giant banana and spider-man fought a giant cat in his origin story

Definitely one of the greatest legendary creators in comics. I really want this news not to be true.

Aww, that sucks. I loved his work on Spider-Woman.

I cant believe people, why isnt anyone commenting on this?

Aw man this was confirmed. Can't believe it. R.I.P Carmine. Truly a great man.

Interesting tweet by JM Dematteis earlier this evening on Twitter: "And let's not forget that, as DC publisher, Infantino was the guy who brought Kirby to DC in 1970: without him, no NEW GODS."

Now that's a legacy right there on its own, and it was only a small part of Carmine's long and illustrious career.

RIP Mr. Infantino. You were a Silver Age comic-art GOD! You will, undoubtedly, be missed.

What are everyone's favorite Carmine Infantino covers?

I know Flash #123 would make many's people's lists.

Wha... what? I mean, I'm in such disbelief... RIP Carmine Infantino, one of the greatest comic book creators ever :(

@impossibilly: That cover is definitely up there. Another one of my favorites is:

Man, this is like losing Jack Kirby all over again. :(

Infantino was one of the All-Time greats. He is lost to us fans but his legacy endures.

R.I.P. Carmine Infantino.

Sad News indeed :(

Rest in Peace Mr Infantino
