Mike Hammer was immensely popular for years. "My Gun Is Quick" and "I, the Jury" were full of anti-gay slurs.

Currently there are Pride Month flags flying from Mickey Spillane's bar in NYC.

Hammer is a no-holds-barred private investigator whose love for his secretary Velda is outweighed only by his willingness to kill a killer.

When the blurb writer from the back of the books realizes he can just edit directly to Wikipedia lmao
