About this person
Despite making major contributions as an innovative writer, visionary mythos/world builder and illustration architect, Finger was often given "ghostwriter" status on comics he created or co-created, including those featuring Batman and the original Green Lantern. In recent years, Finger's lost legacy has been restored.
