He also penciled most of the “Infinity” trilogy of large-scale crossover limited series which Marvel published in the early 1990’s-Infinity Gauntlet (1991), Infinity War (1992) and Infinity Crusade (1993).

He also provided cover art & fill-in interiors for series like Hawkman, Green Lantern (vol.3) and Flash (vol. 2).
