With occasional help from his beloved Nita van Sloan, Richard Wentworth, a.k.a. the Spider, works to exterminate villains while evading capture by Police Commissioner Stanley Kirkpatrick. Don McGregor is the well-known writer/creator of mystery graphic novels including Detectives Inc., Alexander Risk, and Nathaniel Dusk. PAUL BISHOP (Author of Tequila Mockingbird and Head of LAPD's Sex Crimes Unit) writes, "(McGregor's) characters resonate with hardboiled legacy Raymond Chandler twisted by Jim Thompson. Don McGregor is the crowned king of the graphic noir novel." Don's mysteries have been enthusiastically reviewed in ELLERY QUEEN MAGAZINE, MYSTERY MAGAZINE, and by distinguished mystery authors: ED MCBAIN, PETER O'DONNELL, STUART KAMINSKY, BILL PRONZINI and MAXWELL GRANT.
