Bill Finger Google doodle: "USA Today"

“I hope Finger gets his day, even if the attention comes several decades too late. Props to Marc for working so hard to make sure he's remembered.”

On 1/21/14, Whitney Matheson of USA Today’s “Pop Candy” kindly threw heavyweight support behind my home-stretch effort to honor Bill Finger’s 100th birthday slash staggering cultural contribution with the 2/8/14 Google doodle.

 


Thank you again, Whitney. So appreciated.

I just wanted to say Thank You for doing what you are doing Mr. Nobleman. My name is Andreas H and I'm from Sweden in the northern part of Europe. I've been a fan of Batman all my life, and collector of Batman memorabilia and toys since 1983. I run an account on Instagram titled 'BatmanCollection' that currently has 8.600 followers and I've mentioned the Google Doodle campaign for Bill Finger. I'm a huge fan of Mr. Finger, having known about him since first reading Kane's "Batman & Me" and then reading as much as I could about Batman history. I got your book 'Bill The Boy Wonder' as soon as it came out. I always tell people I meet who want to know more about the origins of Batman to read it. Once again, thank you and I truly hope we will see a Bill Finger Google Doodle on February 8, that happens to be my own (39th) birthday too.

Kind regards,

Andreas H, Sweden.
