About the author

William "Bill" Finger was an American comic strip and comic book writer best known as the uncredited co-creator, with Bob Kane, of the DC Comics character Batman, as well as the co-architect of the series' development. In later years, Kane acknowledged Finger as "a contributing force" in the character's creation. Comics historian Ron Goulart, in Comic Book Encyclopedia, refers to Batman as the "creation of artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger", and a DC Comics press release in 2007 about colleague Jerry Robinson states that in 1939, "Kane, along with writer Bill Finger, had just created Batman for [DC predecessor] National Comics".

Film and television credits include scripting The Green Slime (1969), Track of the Moon Beast (1976), and three episodes of 77 Sunset Strip.

[Alexander · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've about had my fill on these. They're getting to be all the same. They're a fun way to kill time but none of these are going to be the greatest thing I've ever read. Old comics are just hard to get through sometimes. They hadn't figured out pacing or showing not telling yet and as a contemporary reader, it gets to be too much.

Batman wakes Robin up for his birthday celebration by jumping onto his bed and spanking him. Artistic perfection, no notes.
