The City That Paid To Die

The Party of Justice has been elected into power in New York State. The Black Police, criminals released from prison, patrol the towns, demanding tribute to be paid on the spot. The Spider, Richard Wentworth, rescues a store owner from extortion, which turns out to be the beginning of a revolution.
From here the story reminds me of both the video game Freedom Fighters and the TV series V. Wentworth and his growing army attack targets of strategic importance, growing their numbers from freed prisoners.

More of the same, but with the added peril of germ warfare. Captured revolutionaries are given diseases to discourage aid from the frightened citizens.
The Spider 62, 11/1938
Scourge of the Black Legions

Wentworth is shot in the lung. He disperses his large army - I guess Page got tired of that gimmick. He attempts to infiltrate the Party of Justice with a someon's twin and it just kind of fizzles out.
Available collected in paperback.
