    The Spider

    Character » The Spider appears in 74 issues.

    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 violent force of justice as The Spider!

    I want to read the spider.

    @thespideyguy: Yes. Liss is great at period pieces, see Marvel's Mystery Men for example. Even if this is a "modern" take on the Spider, the series retains its character's pulp roots.

    Dynamite Entertainment is doing a great job revitalizing these pulp characters. The Shadow is another great series. Mark Waid is rebooting the Green Hornet in March. The Black Bat series is underway by Brian Buccellato.

    Hopefully the Masks mini-series will become an ongoing series or it will be the launching point for other series of characters it featured like Miss Fury.

    It is a great time to be a pulp hero fan.

    I forgot to mention The Black Beetle from Dynamite. That is another good pulp-style series.
