BABY BRO GETS A WELL-DESERVED FINGER

ITEM! In case you haven’t already heard, Mrs. Lieber’s second-most famous son is about to be the proud recipient of the much-coveted Bill Finger Award at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego! Besides being one of the greatest utility in-fielders of the Silver Age of Marvel Comics, little brother Larry Lieber probably wrote more scripts for Jolly Jack Kirby than anyone else this side of Yours Truly and Joe Simon. You see, unlike big bro, Lare could do it all — he wrote, he drew, he inked. Heck, if we’d of let him, he probably woulda delivered the comics to newsstands too! Not to mention he’s my current co-plotter/artist on the Spidey daily syndicated newspaper strip! Whatta guy! Well done, little bro! Lunch at The Grill is on me next week!

Excelsior!
