Richard Wentworth - whose grim, anti-crime crusades as the Spider have made him world-famous - was the first aim in the Poison Master's murder marketing campaign. His closest friend, Kirkpatrick, place in a death-like stupor. His dearest, Nita truck Sloan, was stricken with the terrible living fatality! And at the same time, countless thousands were felled by the same fatal venom. Captured in the crossfire between the Law and the Underworld, the Spider must fight the blind apathy of any region ensnared in a understated death-trap - must triumph over the despair in his own brave heart! Among the things that packages the Spider apart from other hero characters is magnitude; the villains commit works of destruction over a grand scale, sinking whole ocean liners, toppling complete complexes, wiping out complete towns with germ warfare. The wicked masterminds are in truth more terrorists than crooks, their villainy often more because of its own sake than any concrete plan for income. The Spider did not speak gently of bad. He was too soothing, too sensitive a lover, to blot the glamorous night with ineffective vaporings. He was too courageous to use fright from obscure notions. But through many years of ceaseless struggle and hourly threat - from the Underworld and also from the authorities who considered his brand-marked executions of crooks only murder - he previously developed an uncanny sense like the sixth sense of bats. Traveling at night, scarcely seeing, an impact of air waves warning the animal of road blocks in its way. So something warned the Spider of threat. Nick Santa Maria reads Laboratory of the Damned with the crackling strength you have come to expect of his superb expertise. Originally shared in The Spider magazine, July, 1936.
