Obiter Dictum |
Heart of Glass is the denouement of a mythical
Mickey Spillane (1918-2006), (Michael Hannmer)/Richard
Wagner (1813-83), (Der Ring des Nibelungen/The
Ring of the Nibelung) collaboration. Given these
ingredients, this dramaette could produce nothing
less than an epic adventure and there must be a
tragically shattered heart somewhere along the
way. This however is only the opening chapter of
the Joseph Rock Detective Agency saga. For more,
see the poem; "Rock..Paper..Scissors."
Addendum: I must
apologize for the lack of direction in Heart of
Glass. Artistic control was always an issue, given
the trifecta of egos that were involved.
