The three scripts of Bill

A career spanning thirty years and thousands of stories yet pages from only three Bill Finger scripts are known to still exist?

More must be out there. Check your grandparents’ attics.

There's some heavy editing on all of those scripts. Can you tell if the changes came from Finger or from an editor after he turned them in?

Hi J.L. - Good question. Based on the Finger writing sample I have, I'd say he's editing the first one but not the second two.

Finger's writing style sucks you right in. He really knew how to grab the reader on page one. Great example of comic book writing.
