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. This volume collects the first nine issues of the
Black Terror's series.
These comics are a product of their times. Some of the images or sentiments portrayed may
be offensive to modern audiences
