A powerful menace has targeted the United States of America—the Silver King and his Silver Assassins. Their goal: the overthrow of the U.S. government by mob rule. Their method: wholesale murder—beginning with the nation’s law makers! Tipped off to the threat, millionaire criminologist Richard Wentworth sets out to smash the plot––as the Spider! The headlong action begins in the depths of a Colorado silver mine where U. S. senators have been targeted for slaughter, careens through the nation’s Capitol, climaxing in a stunning showdown on the Senate floor when a cold corpse rises from the dead to finger his killer! Ripped from the September, 1934 issue of The Spider, magazine.
