Also enjoying Robert Redford's The West. Up to episode four now I think.
And Bill Finger, co-creator of Batman, had to wait decades just to get his name next to glory hound Bob Kane cause **** the world. And Jack Kirby's massive contribution to the creation of Spider-Man get's an "I'm willing to say that he co-created Spider-Man" from Stan Lee. Comic creators have been getting the absolute shaft for decades. Will have to watch that.
