Siegel, Drake Win Finger Award
The first annual Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing went as promised to one late writer (Jerry Siegel) and one living writer (Arnold Drake). Jerry Siegel is best known as the co-creator or even in some circles as the primary creative force behind the format- and genre-defining hero Superman. Arnold Drake may be best known as the writer behind more offbeat 1960s DC Comics titles like
Deadman and
Doom Patrol.
The Award is named for esteemed original Batman writer Bill Finger and was voted on by a jury made up of Jerry Robinson, Jules Feiffer, Denny O'Neil and Roy Thomas. The award will be given out during the Eisner Awards ceremony on July 15.
