Somebody else has to have heard of Mickey Spillane. Several of his books became movies, and Stacy Keetch even had a "Mike Hammer" TV series built around Spillane's novels and characters. http://www.interlog.com/~roco/images/vengeance_alt.jpg Good time to discover him, if you've never read his stuff...

The Stacey Keach series on Mike Hammer was great. Was it just me or did most of the women featured in that show have big busts?

Too bad Keach got caught powdering his nose once too often: http://www.widesmiles.org/people/keach1.jpg Loved him in "Up In Smoke" though - lots of cons in that film, including PeeWee Herman and even Tommy Chong. ADG Webmaster |
