Note that Mickey Spillane was a department store salesman in 1940 when he discovered he could sell stories for comic books, and he quickly wrote for all the major companies. After Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Air Force and became a fighter pilot. After the war, he wrote "I, the Jury" in 19 days, and it was published in 1947, and it sold 6.5 million copies in the U.S. alone. Its hero, Mike Hammer, a hard-boiled private eye, would appear in many more novels. Spillane would write for the movies, and he even played Mike Hammer in "The Girl Hunters" in 1963!

Important Added Info: Note that this news photo is very reminiscent of when John Dillinger was killed by the FBI outside a movie theater showing "Manhattan Melodrama". In this case, the FBI tracked bank robber John Elgin Johnson to this theater, and they engaged in a gunfight with him inside the theater while Johnson was in a telephone booth! This great photo shows the front with its 3-D advertising! Note that this news photo was printed on Kodak paper, but we believe it to surely be an original still. Sometimes, studios would run out of stills and have extras printed on Kodak stock. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
