Talk:Mike Hammer (character)

Untitled
Hammer was originally intended as a comic book character, which Spillane couldn't get published. (I saw that in a history of Marvel or DC comics, I think...)

Address
On another note, can anybody say what his office address was? I seem to recall it was mentioned in the Keach TV series once... Trekphiler 00:17, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

The old series or the new series? I'm watching the new one all the way through for the next few days, if I see it I'll post it here. JN322 14:21, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've been watching, but I've noticed that so far the only reference I've seen is that they mention his email address on his card. JN322 13:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm guessing that's the new syndicated show. I saw the '80s, titled "Spillane's Hammer"/"New Hammer", & I recall once somebody giving a cabbie his address. Last I saw they were on "A&E"; not anymore? Trekphiler 23:59, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I haven't seen it on that channel in a long time. Which is too bad, I'd like to see that series. JN322 00:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

1950's TV Hammer
Not sure Hammer as played by McGavin was really "misogynistic" -- he's somewhat generally misanthropic, and has various showgirl girlfriends that he seems to care about when they're threatened... AnonMoos (talk) 00:44, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Fake "Hammers" of Turkey during 50's
Starting 1953, book publisher "Çağlayan" published the first six "Mike Hammer" adventures of Mickey Spillane in Turkey. Translations were made by famous Turkish novelist Kemal Tahir. Then Spillane interrupted writing new adventures for a while. But the demand for the new books was enormous in Turkey. As a result appoximately 250 "fake" Mike Hammer books were publishes in Turkey between 1950 and 1960. One of those shadow authors was also Kemal Tahir, under the pen name "F.M.". ‘Kara Nara"(1955) was one of the 250, translates as "Black Nara".

I'm not sure of the organization of this article when an article about a character starts not with a description of the character but a rundown of who played him in film and TV. The "Character" section is written like an essay, with uncited original-research claims. --Tenebrae (talk) 23:05, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Other times creators have portrayed their characters?
The Girl Hunters is “one of the few occasions in film history in which the creator of a literary character was later hired to portray that character in a film.”

This implies that it happened in at least one other case, but doesn't mention any. It would be nice to link to or mention other examples. Ambrosechapel (talk) 21:34, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
