The Spider heard the first dread rumors in the secret councils of the Underworld. A keen-witted, ambitious criminal leader named El Gaucho – backed by a powerful army of brutal killers – was pillaging the West. Looting, ravaging, slaughtering wantonly, the master-mind of crime was ruthlessly following a plan which would make him King of America! Richard Wentworth – the debonair aristocrat who is in truth the deadly Spider, protector of the oppressed – knew that he must strike quickly, or die! For Wentworth, ever running a double risk, forced now to sacrifice a brave, dear friend to ghastly torture, faced a grim, new danger in the bounty-hunters who wanted to collect El Gaucho's reward – its own weight of the purest gold for the Spider's head! King of the Red Killers is torn from the pages of the September, 1935 issue of The Spider magazine.
