Here are some pages covering the regular characters that appear in The Spider magazine. Unlike most other long-running Pulp heroes, the people in The Spider displayed real human emotion in the face of unimaginable horrors, and are given a certain amount of growth throughout the series.

Richard Wentworth/The Spider
A wealthy criminologist by day who is welcome in police circles -- but at night he is The Spider, who is hunted by the police for his merciless methods in pursuit of justice!

Nita Van Sloan
Richard Wentworth's beautiful and capable fiancé. She is a liberated woman who often fights shoulder-to-shoulder with The Spider and his men in their war on evil.

Ram Singh
Wentworth's burly Sikh aide, who is bound to The Spider by blood oath. A man of few words but much vicious action, he is only happy in the midst of a fight.

Supporting Players
Capsule bios of chauffeur Ronald Jackson, butler Jenkyns, Police Commissioner Stanley Kirkpatrick and inventive genius Professor Brownlee.
