Happy Birthday, Mickey Spillane

As noted on the Rara-Avis mailing list, today is Mickey Spillane's 87th birthday. I've read almost everything Spillane ever wrote (well, not counting his Golden Age comic book scripts) and enjoyed most of it a great deal. I have a signed hardback copy of VENGEANCE IS MINE, thanks to Bill Crider who carried it to the Milwaukee Bouchercon for me many years ago and got Spillane to sign it. So happy birthday, Mickey, and thanks for all the great entertainment over the years.

Wow, I'd forgotten all about that. I have several signed Spillane titles from that convention, all paperbacks. And of course he signed my copy of Paperback Quarterly with his photo on the cover.
