“The Consummata” (1967/2011) by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins. Originally plotted by Spillane, Collins completed the novel several decades later. “The Consummata” is not Spillane’s best, but it’s quite entertaining especially in the third act.
Pulp Frictions” (1996) edited by Peter Haining. Quite an effective collection of shorts, many reprinted for the first time. The Mickey Spillane story is quite a different experience from his action-driven approach as it is more a Poe-esque psychological thriller.
@gerardtbaker Mr. Baker, I recommend that you follow up on your editorial by reading this outstanding post (which uses the famous meme as a title) about adventure reading:

@gerardtbaker One of the reasons is that contemporary non-fiction is watered down, especially in the adventure/thriller genre. I read lots of fiction in the 1920-1960 span; it’s a world apart compared to the tame novels we get now. This in addition to politicization. (there are exceptions).
@AceRumble@horrormuseum We can only make a statement based on what we know. What we know is that it’s not making $$$, hence as of today it can’t be labeled a success, or even well-performing.
If someone labels it a success they should provide evidence of it.
@AceRumble@horrormuseum I highly doubt that Disney/Marvel is fine with losing money and have high weekly drops on one the big franchise reboots.
The movie is definitely not a success. Will it kill the franchise? Probably not.
