Customer Reviews

Kind of a hoot

This is pretty typical Spider stuff. If you like him, you will like this. Page/Stockbridge delivers. Not the best/not the worst. If you want a taste of the Spider, this is typical Spider stuff.

Slam-Band Action

This voume features not one, but two complete adventures of THE SPIDER, from January and February, 1937."Dictator of the Damned" is not great SPIDER stuff -- it turns into a modified spy-thriller, and there's rather too much Commissioner Kirkpatrick for my taste. But "The Mill-Town Massacres" is first rate! Bad guys threaten to take over a small steel-mill town, and only THE SPIDER can stop them. The action never stops.Interestingly, the cover for this paperback comes from a totally different SPIDER adventure, "Dictator's Death-Merchants". It is a rarity in itself -- one of only three with THE SPIDER wearing his "hideous face" disguise.
