But this is just a normal day at the office for Richard Wentworth. As the SPIDER, he naturally rises magnificently to the occasion. He struggles mightily, and with the help of some unlikely allies, saves the day. In a pulp series known for slam-bang action, this story stands out -- the entire adventure takes place in a single "dreadful" night.
"City of Dreadful Night" is part of the SPIDER "Living Pharaoh" mini-series, and it marks the SPIDER debut of author Emile C. Tepperman, who took over writing the series in mid-cliffhanger.
This is the series that raised the bar for pulp fiction reprints -- a quality bound publication, with the original cover, interior art, and pulp short stories featured in the November, 1936 issue of THE SPIDER.
A series designed to reprint all 119 of The SPIDER novels along with their digitally restored covers and the original interior illustrations from the pulp magazines of the 1930's-1940's.
In a world of nightmares, you don't want a hero that shoots webs-you need a hero that shoots FIRST!
