As reported in May, Pulp Fan #8 will cater to cinematic adaptations of magazine crusaders, including Doc Savage, The Shadow and The Spider.
I'm supplying an article on the latter (aka Richard Wentworth) and his two movie serials, The Spider's Web and The Spider Returns. Emphasis will fall on the cliffhangers' writers, directors, stuntmen and actors, highlighting Warren Hull, who portrayed the two-fisted avenger.
Hull had an exciting career, and it wasn't just The Spider he played. He also portrayed Mandrake the Magician and The Green Hornet, as well as starring in the Karloff chillers, Night Key and The Walking Dead. Not too shabby.
Jim Main shared Bob Sodaro's preliminary layout for #8. It looks quite spiffy, but anything these guys touch turns out exemplary.
