☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Black Terror faces off against a green-robed villain and his supernatural minions in a supernatural conflict. In a backup story, archaeologist Peter Ward discovers that four Arab brigands sought to loot the tomb of Pharaoh Am-Re in 1445, and their search for hidden treasure leads to the discovery of a mysterious potion hidden in the pharaoh's sarcophagus rather than gold or jewels.
When two reporters in Mexico spot a bank heist and a pair of masked heroes—The Black Terror and Tim—racing to stop the criminals, their photos make headlines back home. Bob Benton and Tim Roland are stunned to see their own faces in the news, clearly not in Mexico but fighting alongside a Mexican Black Terror and a Mexican Tim. As the mystery deepens, the real heroes must uncover the truth behind the doubles before the crooks—Manuel and Jose Fernando—slip through their fingers.
When the owner of the luxury yacht *The Senegal* becomes a target, The Black Terror and his allies must race to uncover a hidden fortune before the killers strike — and the stakes are higher than anyone expected. With the mysterious villain Gloom pulling strings and a gorilla named Bongo adding chaos to the mix, the hunt for the stolen goods turns deadly.
The Black Terror and Tim investigate a mysterious impostor operating south of the border, only to stumble onto a pair of well-meaning locals who've taken vigilante justice into their own hands—armed with movie projector reels and homemade Terror Twin uniforms. When the real criminals catch wind of their activity, The Black Terror and Tim find themselves in serious trouble, facing a desperate Mexican bandit with plans far darker than a simple case of mistaken identity.
In a tale whispered from the sands of time, Peter Ward, the Scarab, listens as an ancient Egyptian recounts the legend of Pharaoh Am-Re’s cursed sarcophagus—hidden beneath the desert, guarded by a tribe of fanatics and discovered by a desperate band of four beggars and thieves in 1445. When the quartet drank from a strange, powerful potion before their deaths, they were said to be bound to rise again this very month, their resurrection a grim promise of vengeance from beyond the grave.
