Editing Mickey Spillane (section)

==In popular culture==

[[Walt Kelly]] wrote two parodies of Hammer's work which satirized his spare, disjointed style, overblown first-person narration, and teetering, barely controlled paranoia: "The Bloody Drip" and "The Bloody Drip Writhes Again", both starring Albert the Alligator as the detective Meat Hamburg. They were published in the following "[[Pogo (comic strip)|Pogo]]" collections:
* "The Bloody Drip" by Mucky Spleen (1953, Uncle Pogo's So-So Stories)
* "Gore Blimey: The Bloody Drip Writhes Again" (1955, The Pogo Peek-a-Book)

Spillane was also parodied several times in ''[[Mad Magazine]]''. The April 1959 issue carried a piece called "If Mickey Spillane Wrote Nancy" (the comic strip ''[[Nancy (comic strip)|Nancy]]'', by [[Ernie Bushmiller]]).<ref>{{Cite web|last=Asher|first=Levi|date=2006-07-18|title=If Mickey Spillane Wrote Nancy|url=https://litkicks.com/SpillaneNancy/|access-date=2021-07-16|website=Literary Kicks|language=en-US}}</ref>

The television series ''[[M*A*S*H (TV series)|MASH]]'' had an episode devoted to Mickey Spillane and his books.

In the 1955 film ''[[Marty (film)|Marty]]'', on a discussion about one of Mickey Spillane's book, Leo says, "That Mickey Spillane, he sure can write."

In the film ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'', Gny. Sgt. Hartman, after providing Pvt. Joker with his Marine Corps assignment as a military journalist, asks him, "Do you think you're Mickey Spillane? Do you think you are some kind of f**king writer?”

In 1987, New York avant-garde jazz musician [[John Zorn]] published ''[[Spillane (album)|Spillane]]'', an album composed of three "file-card pieces", as well as a work for voice, string quartet and turntables. Zorn wrote ''Spillane'' on a series of index cards, each containing an outline or instruction for the musicians that was intended to evoke scenes from one of Spillane's novels.
