Southpaw quoted from this morning's Washington Post article
on Mickey Spillane:
"The New American Library is publishing two volumes of the
best of his novels, from the late 1940s and early
'50s."
Of course, as was recently noted, the first of these two
volumes is already remaindered at Borders. I saw a stack
there last week.
The article also talks about a new documentary about Spillane
produced by Max Allan Collins. And it closes with this note
about TV producer Jay Bernstein about whom John Lau recently
wrote:
"Bernstein has a plan to remake Mike Hammer into something
even Mickey Spillane could never have dreamed up.
"A woman."
Well, Spillane might not have, but Collins sure did. His Ms.
Tree was conceived as a female Hammer.
John, you writing this one?
