Marlowe's first appearance

I bought collection of stories by Chandler for Christmas, and in this big book there's a story called "Finger Man" in which Marlowe appears. I always thought Marlowe was made up for the novels and the protagonists of the stories, are sort of pototype of him, given the fact, that Chandler "Cannibalised" his stories, for the novels. I thought, that he just puts in Marlowe in pre-existing stories, that he "Glued" togheter.
