Robert Porfirio, RIP 1938-2014

I knew Bob, he was a great guy, and an expert on Film Noir and other media.

Robert Porfirio (interviewed Bill Finger in 1972), 1938-2014
Thursday, October 23, 2014

On 10/19/14, Robert Porfirio passed away. I never met Bob and know little about him. What I do know is that he was wonderfully kind...and one of the most important people in the story of documenting Batman co-creator Bill Finger.

Bill’s legacy is lousy with people who—like Bill himself—have not gotten sufficient credit for their contributions:

Bob, thank you for interviewing Bill Finger and for taking the time, 25 years later, to look for that interview for me. I know you had other accomplishments worth noting, but this is the way I knew you. I regret that we never met in person. You were a good man.


Special thanks to (and photo courtesy of) Lareesa Mumford-Pope.
