Pérez was brought in to draw The Infinity Gauntlet because he had more name recognition among fans and because Lim already had a full schedule. When Starlin began writing Silver Surfer in 1990, he and Lim began a new plot with Thanos that developed over sixteen monthly issues and a spin-off limited series before concluding in The Infinity Gauntlet. The series' events are driven by Thanos, a nihilist character created for Marvel by Starlin in 1973. Since its initial serialization from July to December 1991, the series has been reprinted in various formats and editions. In addition to an eponymous, six-issue limited series written by Jim Starlin and pencilled by George Pérez and Ron Lim, crossover chapters appeared in related comic books. The Infinity Gauntlet is an American comic book storyline published by Marvel Comics.
