A powerful menace has targeted the United States of America-the Silver King and his Silver Assassins. Their goal: the overthrow of the U.S. government by mob rule. Their method: wholesale murder-beginning with the nation's law makers! Tipped off to the threat, millionaire criminologist Richard Wentworth sets out to smash the plot--as the Spider! The headlong action begins in the depths of a Colorado silver mine where U. S. senators have been targeted for slaughter, careens through the nation's Capitol, climaxing in a stunning showdown on the Senate floor when a cold corpse rises from the dead to finger his killer! Ripped from the September, 1934 issue of The Spider, magazine.
