  1. The original pulp covers are much better. The paperback ones lack life. The original are colorful, with life, danger, action!

    (btw, now i'm reading Empir of Doom,andis great!)

  2. Great decision David. My personal opinion is to begin with the first, "The Spider Strikes". Ok, is not a Norvell Page one, but is the first. And i must admit it: I'm very obsesessed with begin a series by his first entry.

    If not, "Wings of the Black Death" is a great choice.

  5. Go to the Norvell Page Page, maintained by his niece. There are some free stuff listed, a couple of Spider novels among them. I had one, but downloaded the other to my Kindle app.
