The Spider Queen

Over twenty years before Spiderman, there was The Spider Queen.  This masked heroine was agile and acrobatic, and could shoot webs from her wrists (take THAT Peter Parker).  Good thing she was masked, however, because the cops would have probably arrested her for that outfit in 1941.  Four Color Shadows posted this scan of her final appearance.
