Mickey Spillane Letter

Mickey Spillane Letter

Frank Morrison Spillane (1918 – 2006), better known as Mickey Spillane, was an American crime novelist, called the "King of pulp fiction". His stories often feature his signature detective character, Mike Hammer. More than 225 million copies of his books have sold internationally. Spillane was also an occasional actor, once even playing Hammer himself in the 1965 film The Girl Hunters.

This signed manuscript letter is addressed to the South African crime fiction author, John ‘Wade’ Wright.

Spillane mentions the movie, ‘One Lonely Night’ and his latest Mike Hammer novel. Talking about Hollywood, Spillane says ‘most of the slobs in the elite section of the business give me the nose..’ (Sadly, the picture he mentioned is lost). Sold together with envelope.
