With appalling suddenness, a new hooded monster of crime unleashed swift murder and soul-chilling madness upon Manhattan. His army of assassins struck with wanton savagery to lash terrified millions into a paralysis of fear The Dictator held sway! — and Richard Wentworth, the avenging Spider, driven to the ambuscades of the underworld, faced the vortex of sudden peril alone. Harried on all sides, the target of Underworld assassins and police arrest warrants alike, the Spider gives no quarter as he races to bring another vicious supercriminal to justice. Dictator of the Damned is torn from the pages of the January, 1937 issue of The Spider magazine.
