Bob Benton is THE BLACK TERROR, and his sidekick Tim (yes, that's right, a sidekick
named Timmy Ð I laughed, too) were known as THE TERROR TWINS. Benton got his
super-powers from Òformic ethersÓ derived from red ants while he was working on a
formula to help people feeling run down. THE BLACK TERROR did his part in the Second
World War and continued fighting crime once it ended. THE BLACK TERROR had three
great comics runs: 31 issues of America's Best Comics, 60 issues in Exciting Comics, and
27 Issues of his own titles. The covers of the comics in this collection were created by
Alex Schomburg and the interior artwork were done by Mort Meskin, Jerry Robinson,
George Tuska and a variety of other industry talents.
This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these
comics are over seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages
as enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age
of the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents. The stories here
were created in a less enlightened time and there are some images that may offend
modern readers.
