About the series
Tim Truman's The Spider, published by Eclipse Comics from 1991, is a three-issue miniseries that reimagines the classic pulp hero as a grim, supernatural avenger. Truman, writing and co-illustrating alongside Roger Peterson, crafts a dark, shadow-drenched tale set in a gritty 1930s New York, where the masked vigilante battles a sinister cult. This series stands out for its moody, detailed artwork and Truman's atmospheric storytelling, offering a mature take on the character that bridges pulp nostalgia with 1990s comics sensibilities.
