In the early 1990s, "The Spider" and its characters were reinterpreted in comic book form by Timothy Truman for Eclipse Comics. As noted in "Comics Scene" #19, Truman set his version of The Spider in the "1990s as seen by the 1930s". Elements of this version of The Spider's milieu included airships as common transportation, the survival of the League of Nations into the near past (Wentworth meets Ram Singh during an intervention into India/Pakistan), and World War II, if it ever happened, taking place differently. This series featured an African-American Commissioner Kirkpatrick.
