Up now at my website The Comicologist is an article that I wrote on Thanos for the magazine ACE back in 2015.
![No rose, just fisted glove. 3 silent panels of successive close-ups on the Infinity Gauntlet worn by Thanos](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfqCO-lSJRUNzkfd2ETqf2Qd25oAR5u2aKOFbrX-XLBPzpg1cu4IetRyhod_3nykHYCqcdpoYj3rMyiul3vME5iDEue8pXOK_FP31L-SJaN96se5kfvU2nnL23gEl0nSZFxrbzZMZV4lxZ/s0/InfinityGauntlet1-1Dig-ThanosGauntlet.png)

I’ve posted a version with images and one without, since the former is rather heavy on the graphics. That’s due in part to the article’s length, which in turn is a consequence of the breadth of the character’s publication history — or vice versa. You might want to wait to read it until after you see Avengers: Endgame if you’re not already familiar with the comics, although my guess is that any spoilers pertain more to last year’s Infinity War.
