Noblemania: Only known surviving note that Bill Finger wrote
http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2012/06/only-known-surviving-note-that-bill.html
Author of books for all ages, speaker, and pop culture archaeologist. Thursday, June 14, 2012. Only known surviving note that Bill Finger wrote. Much has been made (by me, anyway) about how few photos of himself Bill Finger (uncredited co-creator of Batman) left behind upon his death in 1974. Early on, I realized something that was even scarcer: Bill’s handwriting. We have plenty of Bill’s writing, of course, but almost all of it is fictional (and typed). But what would a. Note that he wrote reveal?

Noblemania: What Bill Finger left behind
http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-bill-finger-left-behind.html
Author of books for all ages, speaker, and pop culture archaeologist. Sunday, August 9, 2015. What Bill Finger left behind. In a way, it makes sense that the primary creative force behind Batman would be something of a mystery, but Bill Finger took that too far—or rather, circumstances (some but not all beyond his control) took that too far. To DC Comics, but DC declined. (Unbearable.) Presumably, Fred then tossed them. (Again unbearable. But understandable.). What of Bill’s did. What you'll find here.

Noblemania: How Bill Finger was documented in his lifetime
http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-bill-finger-was-documented-in-his.html
Author of books for all ages, speaker, and pop culture archaeologist. Friday, August 7, 2015. How Bill Finger was documented in his lifetime. Most of this has already been covered here, but I recently stumbled upon an encapsulation I wrote several years ago so I am posting it for one-stop shoppers. Bill Finger was not well documented in his lifetime by either interviews or photographs (and he received no mainstream obituary). Few instances of his actual words have been published. After years of searching...

Noblemania: “Hand of God” a veiled message?

Author of books for all ages, speaker, and pop culture archaeologist. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. 8220;Hand of God” a veiled message? During the Q&A after an 8/3/15 talk I gave at a Connecticut library, an attendee asked me the meaning of the “Hand of God” comment on Bob Kane’s gravestone. I’d never been asked that. I’d never thought about that. And suddenly it hit me. But now I see perhaps that gravestone does reveal the truth after all—discreetly. Almost certainly not…but curious nonetheless. Featuring be...
