Book Synopsis

The classic pulp character The Spider in an all-new graphic novel by legendary talents Gene Colan and Don McGregor. McGregor is the well-known writer/creator of mystery graphic novels including Detectives Inc., Alexander Risk, and Nathaniel Dusk. PAUL BISHOP (Author of Tequila Mockingbird and Head of LAPD's Sex Crimes Unit) writes, "(McGregor's) characters resonate with hardboiled legacy Raymond Chandler twisted by Jim Thompson. Don McGregor is the crowned king of the graphic noir novel." Don's mysteries have been enthusiastically reviewed in ELLERY QUEEN MAGAZINE, MYSTERY MAGAZINE, and by distinguished mystery authors: ED MCBAIN, PETER O'DONNELL, STUART KAMINSKY, BILL PRONZINI and MAXWELL GRANT. Gene Colan is the grand naturalist illustrator of comics and graphic novels. In his 50 year career, Colan added considerable drama to the exploits of Daredevil, Batman, Tomb of Dracula, Howard the Duck, Dr. Strange, Nathaniel Dusk, Wonder Woman, and is the co-creator of Blade which has spawned multiple major motion pictures staring Wesley Snipes. Gene's beautiful pencil techniques give the characters of The Spider, breath and bone.
