Painted cover by John Newton Howitt. It began as a premonition on a beautiful afternoon for Richard Wentworth-a terrible sense of dread rippled his spine. Three hours later, he found himself a hunted man, fleeing from police and the machinations of an arch-fiend! Stripped of his wealth, cut off from his faithful helpers, Richard Wentworth, known and feared as throughout the Underworld as the avenging SPIDER, struggles with his most powerful and wily foe-the Man who came out of the East! With Wentworth's best friend, Police Commissioner Kirkpatrick, framed for murder; with the entire city capitulating before that new and cruelly cunning menace from the Orient, the SPIDER himself seems doomed to die on the torture racks of the Far East!

Volume 37 - 1st printing. Living Pharaoh Saga: Part 2 of 4 - "The Devil's Death Dwarfs!" Written by Norvell Page (as Grant Stockbridge). Art by John Fleming Gould. Painted cover by John Newton Howitt. The horror of the Terror's second coming, its descent upon the Middle West, crowded even the news of Tang-akhmut's escape from Sing Sing off the front pages of newspapers. In a single night, death in horrid form had been visited upon a dozen widely scattered homes in Cincinnati, Ohio. What made the crimes more awful - aside from the maniacal cruelty with which men and women had been tortured to death - was the utter lack of any intelligible reason for the attacks. And the hysterical refusal of the surviving victims - the loved ones who had been forced to witness the tortures - to tell the police what had happened or who was responsible! Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 96 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). NOTE: Limited to 1,000 copies. Cover price $10.00.

Volume 39 - 1st printing. Living Pharaoh Saga: Part 4 of 4 - "Reign of the Snakemen!" Written by Emile C. Tepperman (as Grant Stockbridge). Art by John Fleming Gould. Painted cover by John Newton Howitt. Lawrence Fremont, the wealthy department store owner who had been missing for over a week, was running blindly, stumbling, palpitating with fright. In the gloomy dusk of the bleak autumn afternoon, his face appeared weird, distorted; and his mouth hung open, drawing in great gulps of air. Wild, terror stricken eyes burned from sockets that were sunk deep in the folds of his scabrous, unwholesome flesh. It was evident that he was wounded in some way, for there was blood on the pavement where he had run, and blood was dripping down from under his coat. The blood splashed in great globules to the sidewalk. There was a knife hilt sticking out from his ribs. Over the heads of the crowd that had gathered in repulsed fascination, Wentworth looked in the direction from which Fremont had run. His blood froze. For there, marching down the street in leprous ranks, came what used to be men. Black hoods covered their faces, and their skin hung in tatters from arms held out to scratch the crowd...
