QUOTE FROM CREATOR JOSEPH SCHMALKE:
"WE DON'T KILL SPIDER IS A VERY PERSONAL PROJECT FOR ME AND IT TOOK ABOUT THREE YEARS TO DEVELOP. IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE I HAVE WORKED SOLO ON A BOOK AND I WANTED TO DO ALL THE ARTWORK AND WRITING MYSELF. AT IT’S ROOT “WE DON’T KILL SPIDERS” IS A TRUE CRIME STORY WITH SUPERNATURAL ELEMENTS. THIS TOUCHES ON MY LOVE OF THE NOIRE CRIME DRAMAS, SERIAL KILLER DOCUMENTARIES, NECROMANCERS, AND BATTLE AXES TO THE SKULL."
