MOONSTONE BOOKS FOR NOVEMBER

THE SPIDER #3

Written by Howard Hopkins, art by Cortney Skinner, cover by Gary Carbon.

"The Strange Case of The Spider and Mr. Hyde." The Spider: the most violent and ruthless crime fighter of all time. A cloaked, fanged, borderline crazy denizen of the dark force-feeding hard justice with a pair of '45's!

The man-creature, hands about the Spider's wrists, hoisted him off his feet and slammed him against the stone wall. The beast was powerful, incredibly so, for he suspended the Spider in midair and shook him like a child's rattle. Then he twisted, and hurled the Spider. Helpless, grasping consciousness by silken webs, Wentworth's back crashed into the low marble railing running along the balcony. Momentum carried him over the railing and hurtling towards death upon the theater floor 20 feet below.
