Notes

Features interviews with Frank Frazetta, Bernie Wrightson.  

 

There were two printings of Infinity #2, with different pages of art by Dan Adkins and Gray Morrow.  The first printing had heavy, glossy covers, and the second printing had a mat finish cover.  

 

There is no date on either printing, but the ad included here states that Infinity #2 was published in 1971.   The ad also states that one of the new pieces of art would be by Clyde Caldwell, but no Caldwell art appears in either printing.
