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.
These comics are a product of their times. Some of the images or sentiments portrayed
may be offensive to modern audiences.
