The Purple Claw #2

1953-03-01 · 36 pages

In "The Web of Horror," Dr. Weir ventures into the Valley of Horror seeking his friend Dr. Italo Schiasi—only to find him dead at the claws of a monstrous spider. Accusing the jealous Baron Latro, Weir is ambushed and robbed of the mysterious Purple Claw by the enigmatic Countess Arachni. Taken to her castle and ensnared in a web, he’s saved by the Countess, who kills Latro in his spider form—only to reveal her own terrifying transformation. With the Purple Claw reclaimed, Weir must face the Countess’s true nature in a battle of wits and will. Art by Ben Brown and David Gantz brings the eerie menace of this 1953 tale to life, with cover art by the same duo.
