Key Facts: This is the complete set of three prestige-format graphic novels from Eclipse Comics (1991) that reimagine the classic pulp hero The Spider, Master of Men! in a gritty, modern comic style. Written and drawn primarily by Timothy Truman with art contributions from Enrique Alcatena, the series adapts pulp elements into a violent, shadowy crimefighter story set against urban corruption and mob violence. Book One is titled Blood Dance, Book Two Blood Mark, and Book Three Blood Mask. The books were released in squarebound prestige format and capture the intense, archetypal vigilante tone of the original pulp adventures with Truman’s distinctive artistic flair. This was one of Eclipse’s final major projects before the publisher closed.
