Bill,
From Comics scripts, Spillane really did burst on mystery
lit. - as far as I remember- with his first novel in 1947 (I,
the Jury) that became a huge success as paperback edition. He
must have published some novellas in Manhunt (mag), starting
in 1953 only.
I know of *collections* of short stories Spillane published
during the sixties: ME HOOD (1961) RETURN OF THE HOOD
(1964)
But never read these collections, or maybe some stories here
and there, but I don't remember.
I was never very interested by short stories (with very few
exceptions like Woolrich, Frederic Brown
...), but was more attracted by novellas when it's HB/Noir.
My general lack of interest for short stories was a mistake,
I know ... but nobody's perfect.
Hope the above helps.
