The City of Lost Men - The Spider 53 (Unabridged)

Over New York's Finest – the police organization without equal in the world – fell the blight of lunacy, sweeping on like wildfire until it had turned Manhattan into a chill, whimpering madhouse and released the helpless city's wealth to a wild carnival of crooks and vandals! What was that incredible, unseen force which, in a split-second, could transform sane men into drooling maniacs? No human being could stand against that Mask of Madness, and yet Richard Wentworth, in the Spider's strange vestments, took up the fight – to strike blow for blow against the merciless emperor of idiocy who had captured a metropolis by addling its brains! The City of Lost Men is torn from the pages of the February, 1938 issue of The Spider magazine.
