The Spider #62 Audiobook
Scourge of the Black Legions
by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge
Read by Nick Santa Maria
 
 
Over New York had swept the Master’s dread Black Police — wiping out the last organized resistance to their ruthless Underworld rule of the Empire State! Only Richard Wentworth, his forces scattered, could hope to succeed where thousands had failed — and, attired in the Spider’s somber garb, strike one last desperate blow at the master-murderer who had sacked a state to make a fortune out of dead men’s bones!
 
By 1938, Richard Wentworth had been operating as the Spider for nearly five harrowing years. He had been through everything a good pulp hero could expect to face. Malevolent master villains. Sinister Asian world conquerors. Mad scientists more diabolical than anything conceived before that point. And of course since the Spider was a wanted criminal, endless police officials, uniformed cops, homicide detectives and other officers of the law had been pursuing him with single-minded fervor.
 
A mere mortal would have succumbed back in 1933. Not the indomitable Richard Wentworth. He seemed to thrive on conditions of continuous peril. Yes, he did put down his mask and guns a time or two, vowing never to become the dreaded Spider again. But the call to battle always made his blood sing, and inevitably the Master of Men returned to battle the underworld in another blazing exploit.
 
Never before or since has there been a hero like him. Driven, hunted, and violently committed to exterminating criminals of all calibers. A self-appointed savior of humanity, driven manic-depressive, and possibly undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, the Spider was known as the Master of Men.
 
Nick Santa Maria once again brings the Spider to life in Scourge of the Black Legions. Originally published in The Spider magazine, November, 1938.
