Last week, National Public Radio did a segment on Jim's Big Ego, which is a rock band fronted by a musician named Jim Infantino. During the piece, Jim mentioned that when he needed someone to draw a cover for his new CD, he called on his Uncle Carmine. That's right: Carmine Infantino, the acclaimed artist of umpteen comic book heroes, including The Flash, Adam Strange, Batman and his favorite, Detective Chimp. The CD, which is entitled They're Everywhere, also features a song called "The Ballad of Barry Allen," which is dedicated to Carmine. (For those of you who've forgotten: Barry Allen was the other identity of The Flash. And will be again, if there's a just and loving God in the heavens.)
You can order the CD over at the Jim's Big Ego website. You can also download an MP3 of any song from it for a buck, plus there's a link to listen to the NPR segment. (Thanks to Rob Means for calling my attention to this.)
