His purpose was to control America’s vast resources, so that he might sell them to Europe’s highest-bidding war monger for fabulous millions. So powerful were his weapons: induced insanity, living cholera bacteria, a hideous hypnosis... that all who opposed him became his vassals — until Richard Wentworth in the guise of the Spider risked all he held dear in the grimmest battle of his crime-fighting life! Follow the Spider, Master of Men, as he dodges gangland guns and police bullets in another roller coaster ride of an adventure!
The Spider and the War Emperor is torn from the pages of the May, 1940 issue of The Spider magazine.
