On January 18, 1974, the world of comics and screenwriting lost a notable figure. Bill Finger, a renowned comics artist and screenwriter, passed away at the age of 59. Born in Denver, Colorado in 1914, Finger had an early interest in art and storytelling. He began his career in the comic book industry in 1938, when he was hired by National Comics (now known as DC Comics) to work on their new character, Batman. Finger quickly became an essential part of the Batman franchise, co-creating many iconic elements of the character, including his iconic costume, the Batmobile, and the Batcave. He also co-created beloved characters such as Robin, Catwoman, and the Joker. In addition to his work on Batman, Finger also worked on other comics such as Green Lantern, Superman, and Wonder Woman. He was known for his creative storytelling, complex characters, and attention to detail. Finger's contribution to the world of comics extended beyond his artistic talents. He was also a screenwriter, helping to bring Batman to the big screen in the 1966 film "Batman: The Movie" and co-writing episodes of the 1960s "Batman" television series. Despite his significant contributions, Finger's name was not always recognized in the comics industry during his lifetime. However, in recent years, there has been a push to give Finger the credit and recognition he deserves for his work on Batman. In 2015, he was posthumously inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame. Finger's legacy continues to live on through the timeless characters and stories he helped create. He will be remembered as a talented and influential figure in the world of comics and screenwriting.
