 Note- except for the first two novels, all Spiders where credited to
       the 'house' pseudonym of "Grant Stockbridge"

Notes on reprints:
  C&G - Carrol & Graf.
  Berkley promised to reprint #5, but it never appeared.
  The Pocket editions where suppossedly extensiblly rewritten but I compared
  one and could find no evidence.
  Dimedia reprinted 3 in 1980 as facimile reprint trade paperbacks 
  and 3 more in 1985 as massmarket paperbacks.
  Carrol&Graf is most recent in 1991-93.

** "Slaughter, Inc" was bought by Popular but never saw print in the
the magazine.  It was discovered in 1978 and published in 1979.
Because of copyright problems, all the names had to be changed.
The Spider became "Blue Steel" and the book entitled "Blue Steel #1".
The author was credited as "Spider Page".  The publisher was Python.
The cover appears to be an unused `Operator 5' cover from when Freeway
was reprinting this series with covers by George Gross (he did the Avenger
covers for Warner & some Nick Carter covers).

Information taken from:  _Spider_ by Robert Sampson. Published 1987 by
                          Bowling Green State Univ Press.
