Stripped of his wealth, take off from his faithful helpers, Richard Wentworth, known and feared throughout the Underworld as the avenging Spider, struggles with his most powerful and wily foe - the Man who came out of the East! With Wentworth's best friend, Law enforcement officials Commissioner Kirkpatrick framed for murder; with the complete city capitulating before that new and cruelly cunning menace from the Orient, the Spider himself seems doomed to perish on the torture racks of china and taiwan! One man against more wicked than anyone could ever before imagine, foes feared by any normal man. The Spider knew that, but it didn't check the untamed impulse to laughter that squeezed his lungs. It was no marvel that men call the Spider mad! Once, in an average blood-and-screaming-bullets carnage of urban combat, Law enforcement officials Commissioner Kirkpatrick ticked off an extended set of suspects. Wentworth blurted out this self-revealing truth. "I'm suspicious of everybody," he accepted, "even of myself sometimes." And well he should be. For Richard Wentworth was an undiagnosed manic-depressive - if not paranoid schizophrenic - subject to violent mood swings, climbing to unutterable levels of exultation in a single scene, then crashing into the blackest depths of despair the next. If the Spider-madness came up over him, he could grab his cherished Stradivarius violin and unveiling into a night-long serenade to soul-searching. Or, he could putty up his face, don dark hat and cape, venture out Spidering.... Nick Santa Maria brings the action to attractive life, narrating with a fever-pitch power. "The Approaching of the Terror" originally released in The Spider journal, September 1936.
