Following in the footsteps of Baen's three-story collections, Age of Aces Books has just published The Spider's only true trilogy, the "Black Police Saga." This much-talked-about Nazi-allegory by Norvell Page had never been reprinted until now. So as not to confuse fans of African-American police officers, the 1938 trilogy has been titled The Spider Vs. The Empire State. In this three-issue, 400+ page epic, when the "Party of Justice" sweeps the New York State elections and changes the laws Reichstag-style to create a fascist regime, The Spider must emerge from the shadows and become a symbol of the resistance movement! Befitting this very special Spider story, Aces art director (and designer of this site) Chris Kalb has given the book a unique design. Thomas Krabacher provides a sensational foreword that puts the stories in historical and sociological context. The whole package is a little classier than previous Spider reprints.
