I stumble across ‘Shadow’ and ‘Doc Savage’ pulps now and then, but a copy of a ‘Spider’ pulp is a real find...scarce and expensive. I see that someone has posted a decent copy of ‘The Spider’s Web’ on YouTube...have to check it out when I get a bit of time.
That first “Spider” serial is quite good. Much better than Columbia’s later superhero serials devoted to The Shadow, Batman, Brick Bradford and such. Indeed, it was Columbia’s best serial, by a pretty wide margin. The sequel serial “The Spider Returns” wasn’t so hot, however.
I don’t have much in the way of ‘hero’ pulps, outside of things like Dan Fowler in “G-Men Detective” or Ki-Gor in “Jungle Stories.” Always too rare and pricey. Although I do have a few of the shudder pulps like “Terror Tales,” put out by the same publisher as “The Spider.”
