The Black Terror

The Black Terror series was released in 1942 and it ran for a good seven years before cancellation.

The series featured 3-4 stories per issue, presenting several characters such as The Black Terror, Crime Crushers squad, etc.

They were action comics, as the villains featured were human and there were no traces of supernatural forces or inventions.

After a few years, the fans of the stories were decreasing gradually, until the comic book started just featuring stories with The Black Terror as the main character. After a few issues with this format, the series was finally canceled.
