Rambo’s father turns 80 today

It was 1972 when the iconic character Rambo made his first appearance, in then 28-year-old David Morrell’s book First Blood. That was the first of three Rambo books Morrell authored.

Since then, of course, Rambo has become a character in American pop culture. Of course, the Sylvester Stallone movies didn’t hurt…

I first met David in 1990, when he was promoting his latest novel called The Fifth Profession.

So here now, from 1990, David Morrell.

As we mentioned at the outset, today is David Morrell’s 80th birthday. His last novel was published in 2010.
