Summary: ...Rising from the Grave, to Kill The SPIDER!
Review: The SPIDER'S normal practice is to ensure he gets credit for his bodycount of criminals by marking them with a vermillion seal of a spider upon their recently deceased foreheads. But, incredibly, a number of these evil-doers have seemingly returned from the grave, to form a veritable Council of Evil, dedicated to destroying The SPIDER. Almost as an afterthought, they want to pull off the biggest robbery in the history of the world, destroying much of New York City to ensure their safe getaway.This is pure slam-bang pulp action at a mile-a-minute pace. It is the actual story for the October, 1940 pulp issue of THE SPIDEr magazine, with the type re-set for easy reading, the original cover, the original interior illustrations, the original rear-of-the-magazine filler story, and an "interview" with the author. This issue is introduced by one of the last writers to have appeared in the original pulps -- best-selling author John Jakes.
