Mickey Spillane

Mickey Spillane was an American author known for his hard-boiled detective novels, particularly the Mike Hammer series.

"See, heroes never die. John Wayne isn't dead, Elvis isn't dead. Otherwise you don’t have a hero. You can’t kill a hero. That’s why I never let him get older."

"Authors want their names down in history I want to keep the smoke coming out of the chimney."
