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.

What a great introduction of a classic character! Two-Face definitely shines in this comic. He's just as he should be: unhinged, confused, and dichotomous to his own detriment. The last few panels with the coin deciding his fate perfectly shows Two-Face's eventual role in the future comic stories. Always on the edge of good and evil.

Mindless fun. Favorite stories are Batman and Slam Bradley. Riveting stuff for boys and girls during the early days of WW2. Not high art even by comix standards, but a good look into the comics of a long-ago time. Needless to say this is the facsimile version. I really dig the facsimiles. Keep 'em coming. It took me a few months to read it because I put it down about half way through and put it into a box and forgot about. Finally finished today.
