I wanted to know if THE SPIDER is in the public domain?

Best,

Possibly,

Dynamite did an 8 issue series from 2012 to 2014.

Some publishing info here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_Publications

So I would say, probably not.

The first year of stories were not renewed. So, anything originating in those issues are public domain. This happened with several of the pulp titles from Popular. However, there are trademarks that you have to be wary of.
