A year later (and just before this year\u2019s PulpCon), Chris introduced <a href=\"http:\/\/spiderreturns.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Spider Returns<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wow! That\u2019s the first word that comes to mind regarding Chris\u2019 new Web site.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s put together more than 500 pages of information pertaining to <em>The Spider<\/em>. Everything from information about the different characters and the authors and artists to essays on <em>The Spider<\/em>, information about <em>The Spider<\/em> pulps, the reprints, comics, serials and collectibles. Chris also has created desktops based on the pulp covers and movie serial photos, as well as screensavers for Mac OS X and Windows.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a nifty bookmark with <em>The Spider<\/em> art on the outside, and a handy checklist of story titles inside (with blocks to check off if you\u2019ve got the pulp, the reprint or have read the story).<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also find multimedia bits from <a href=\"http:\/\/members.aol.com\/spiderpage\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">his old <em>Spider<\/em> site<\/a>, which he has left online.<\/p>\n<p>Chris doesn\u2019t just build a plain ol\u2019 Web site. He slips in surprises throughout (just like on his classic <em>Doc Savage<\/em> site, <a href=\"http:\/\/members.aol.com\/the86floor\/\" target=\"_blank\">the 86th Floor<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/members.aol.com\/battleaces\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">his <em>G-8<\/em> site<\/a>.).<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find plenty of information and entertainment at <a href=\"http:\/\/spiderreturns.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Spider Returns<\/a>.
