Up from the Devil's Seacoast swarmed a hooded horde, rioting to place America beneath the Cobra's bondage. A frenzied, living Pharaoh raked Manhattan with madness and murder. Against a baffling real human wall membrane that dies but never betrays its menacing master, Richard Wentworth - feared Spider of the underworld - encounters his fate exclusively. The most convincing of the typical pulp heroes, Richard Wentworth got a fiancé, a coterie of similarly determined aides, and a tense relationship with NY Law enforcement officials Commissioner Stanley Kirkpatrick, Wentworth's best friend, but also a dedicated lawman sworn to send the Spider to the electric chair - no subject who he actually is. These riveting reports ran the gamut of incendiary thrillers to ultra-violent showdowns between an obsessed superhero and his depraved arch-foes. Manhattan is the background for Wentworth's apocalyptic travels. A new skyline has arisen above the penthouses, nightclubs, breadlines, and ghettos of the Big Apple. Using the repeal of Prohibition, rich gangsters are in search for new rackets. And located ready to keep them in check, the dreaded Spider. The reports plunge along head-first aboard an mental roller-coaster, with scarcely a moment's pause for respite. Oriental death-traps, treacherously alluring women, and rabid, machine-gun toting gangsters are all part of a typical day for the hero; Wentworth is frequently suspected of being the dreaded Spider, his home is regularly damaged, his servants and friends tortured. Everything Richard Wentworth contains dear is continually at risk, yet he battles on as The Spider. Nick Santa Maria once again brings the Spider alive in "Reign of the Snake Men." Actually published inside the Spider magazine, December, 1936.
