The Spider is the uncrowned king of the New York underworld, so elusive to the police that he even manages to taunt the Police Commissioner at his retirement party. But Professor Aldo Cummings, a famous but ill-tempered scientist, determined to stop the schemes of the Spider once and for all, invents a ray-machine which will eliminate the evil from a person's personality. But a tragic miscalculation will turn Professor Cummings into the Professor of Power, and he will seek a more direct confrontation with the Spider.

The first collection of the Spider stories originally published as part of the Picture Library series, these long-lost and fast-paced pulp adventure stories have never been reprinted before, written by Jerry Siegel (co-creator of Superman) and Donne Avenell.

Drawn to Central Park where the zombies are birthed are two heroic protectors of humanity, Operator 5 and G-8. Will they join in common cause with The Spider... or spurn him? Summoned, also, are two of the most dangerous supercriminals the world has ever known, seeking the strange secret of the Doom Legion!

BOOK ONE: WINGS OF THE NIGHT. This mini-series introduces a group of super villains called The Legion of Vermin, the creepiest bad guys ever to threaten an unsuspecting public with mass destruction. The tale, loosely based on a 1933 Spider magazine tale by Grant Stockbridge, which features hordes of poison vampire bats and a blowgun toting Jivaro headhunter, now contains a full fledged team of villainous creatures: twin headhunters named Castor and Pollux; the Javelina, a strong brute who's a weapons master and like his namesake has a very mean temper; and the Armadillo, a gigantic tank of a man covered in living armor plate with a spike tipped whip-like tail. Written by Timothy Truman. Art by Enrique Alcatena. Cover by Enrique Alcatena and Timothy Truman. FC, 48 pg. Prestige Format. Cover price $4.95.

BOOK TWO: LEGION OF VERMIN. The Spider faces the dread Legion of Vermin and their diabolical leader, The Vampire Master. They're the most dangerous group of foes The Spider has ever faced and when he discovers that The Vampire Master is the force behind a deadly series of vampire bat attacks on the city, the ensuing clash is rife with a hail of bullets and vampire bats. Reign of the Vampire King also features a romantic quadrangle, with a new potential love interest for The Spider. Nita Van Sloan, one of the people who knows The Spider's true identity, is threatened by the relationship that develops between the masked crimefighter and a mystery woman from the underworld, but when Nita in turn meets a handsome policeman, her relationship with playboy publisher Dick Wentworth seems all too tame. As if this wasn't enough plot for one issue, The Spider's also on the trail of gambler Red Cullihane and must hunt down alone without the mystery woman or Nita at his side. Written by Timothy Truman. Art by Enrique Alcatena. Cover by Enrique Alcatena and Timothy Truman. FC, 48 pg. Prestige Format. Cover price $4.95.

BOOK THREE: RED HARVEST. After tracing a series of brutal attacks made by trained poisonous bats back to the heinous Vampire Master and his deadly followers, The Spider learns of a grisly South American cartel and their body parts for cash operation. As if that wasn't enough, The Spider's caught between two beautiful women. After a battle royale at a party in the City Hall Complex, The Spider is beaten to a pulp, taken captive by The Vampire Master, and flown back to the hidden bat-lair in an abandoned amusement park. Things look bleak for The Spider, with no escape in sight. But...the excitement's only just beginning. Before the final punch is thrown, readers will be taken on a nerve jangling, rollercoaster thrill ride, leaving them gasping for more and wondering how in the world we ever got along without The Spider. Written by Timothy Truman. Art by Enrique Alcatena. Cover by Enrique Alcatena and Timothy Truman. FC, 48 pg. Prestige Format. Cover price $4.95.
