I don't know if it's been reprinted anywhere, but copies of
the third issue of FANTASTIC are not That hard to come by.
Having read it, I find it one of the best parodies of
Spillane I've seen, unsurprisingly more subtle than Jean
Kerr's (as delightful as that was to me at age 10), and
necessarily less lampooning than Fritz Leiber's "The Night He
Cried." But, nonetheless, as over-the-top as anything by
Spillane himself and more than most. TM

In another part of the Memoirs, Browne writes about how he
ended up writing another story for Fantastic as Mickey
Spillane, "The Veiled Woman." This doesn't appear in
Incredible Ink (at least not under that title). Has it been
reprinted anywhere else?
Has anyone read it? Does Browne try to emulate Spillane's
style? I'd guess he does, since he mentions, "I think I
killed fourteen people in it. And in the end he shot the
woman in the belly for killing his wife. You got your 25
cents' worth" -- sounds like a Spillane story to me.
