Bill Finger Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bill Finger Award For Excellence In Comic Book Writing is an American award for comic book writers who were not sufficiently honored for their work in the medium. It is presented annually to two writers, one living and one dead, along with the Eisner Awards at Comic-Con. It was established by Bill Finger colleague and fellow writer Jerry Robinson. [1]
