Steve Skeates, Frank Doyle Awarded 2012 Bill Finger Award

You can read all about it at Mark Evanier's site or at the Comic-Con site: the Bill Finger Award for this year will go to Steve Skeates and Frank Doyle. Skeates is a prolific writer whose prime came in that industry's "Silver Age." His best-known work, at least to my memory, came while at DC and Charlton. Frank Doyle was an outright anchor of the Archie line starting mid-20th Century. He passed away in 1996. The award, which was started in 2005 at the behest of the late Jerry Robinson, is named after the criminally under-appreciated mainstream comic-book writer Bill Finger and honors achievements in that realm of comics. It has gone to one living and one late writer since its inception.

The award is given out during the Eisner Awards program. Congratulation to both men and their families.
