The Spider #98 Audiobook

Volunteer Corpse Brigade

by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge

Read by Nick Santa Maria

What chance had Civilization to survive — with Smiler Miordan’s vast Underworld Union coming to full power... with his new and deadly plague destroying all who dared oppose him?... Could Nita’s pitifully brave coup stay the Murder Tide long enough for the Spider, himself infected, to organize an army of patriotic lepers?... One of Richard Wentworth’s most stirring crime sagas!

Author and former crime reporter Norvell W. Page, who penned the majority of the Spider’s exploits as Grant Stockbridge in Popular Publications’ infamous pulp magazine, The Spider, once described his hero in gigantic but unflinching terms: “His exploits had raised him to the proportions of a legendary hero. In ancient times, Rome would have made him an emperor-god. Salem might have burned him as a sorcerer. The modern world—well, 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.

“Yes, Richard Wentworth was a murderer in the eyes of the law—a butcher who had slain a hundred, a thousand of his fellow men. They took no account of the fact he killed only those who richly deserved to die, that he alone had prevented a score of master criminals from overwhelming the forces of law and order.”

“There’s a madness that gets in me when the Spider walks....” Richard Wentworth once admitted.

Once more,the incomparable Nick Santa Maria reads another thrilling Spider exploit. Volunteer Corpse Brigade originally published in The Spider magazine, November, 1941.
