Bob Benton is THE BLACK TERROR, and his sidekick Tim (yes, that's right, a sidekick named Timmy – I laughed, too) were known as THE TERROR TWINS. Benton got his super-powers from “formic ethers” 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.
