One of the greatest pulp characters of all time is now re-launched into the 21st century! The world knows Richard Wentworth as a decorated war hero and the son of a wealthy industrialist – but only a few confidants know the truth. As New York City slides into violence and despair, Wentworth has transformed himself into a force of justice as The Spider! With only his wits, his technology, and his pistols to aid him, he fights a one-man war against crime, but when a mysterious new villain threatens the city with an unspeakable horror, it may be more than even The Spider can handle. How far will a sane man go to restore order to an insane world?
Would have preferred the pulp Spider’s fang-toothed Mr. Hyde look but that art is so so good.
Lookin’ forward to this. Looks good.
Cannot afford any more comics on my pull-list but this looks so good!
Anyone who says there are no good comics on the market anymore isn’t looking hard enough.
I’ve really enjoyed the few times the character (or characters obviously based on the character) has popped up over the last 15 years or so, as a little old man.
