The Spider #105 Audiobook
Revolt of the Underworld
by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge
Read by Nick Santa Maria
With only a small boy to tend his grave wounds; with every bluecoat hunting him on charges of kidnaping, murder and treason, how could Richard Wentworth — as himself or in the grim guise of the Spider — possibly quell a gigantic Underworld uprising designed to crush him first — and then inflict a murder-rule upon the land!
The Spider was the champion of oppressed humanity, its protector against the murderous outbreaks of the Underworld; wherever crime struck terribly, that way he hastened, taking up the challenge. The police had offered rewards totaling thousands of dollars for his capture “dead or alive.” And the Underworld hated him, and plotted his destruction with a fierceness bred of abject terror.
But the Spider was indifferent to proscription by the Underworld and dogged persecution by police. Evading their bullets and traps, he continued to fight his thankless battle as humanity’s paladin....
And the Spider rejoiced in impossible odds. Captured by a modern-day buccaneer in one epic, Wentworth shrugged off the mood of black despair which often came over him when defeat seemed imminent:
One man against more than a hundred pirates, of course, a hundred killers. The Spider knew that, but it did not check the wild impulse to laughter that squeezed his lungs. It was no wonder that men call the Spider mad!
This thrilling Spider audiobook features acclaimed voice talent Nick Santa Maria, who has made the Spider his own! Revolt of the Underworld originally published in The Spider magazine, June, 1942.
