☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Black Terror #24 is an anthology featuring the main story "Larceny in the Lighthouse," in which the Black Terror and Tim battle criminals smuggling contraband via a lighthouse, and a backup feature "The Crime Crushers" (a guest feature by "Aerial Acrobats"), which follows characters named Floopie and Steve as they become entangled in a dangerous situation involving stolen airplane designs and a bank robbery while attempting to deliver the designs to a client.
The Lady Serpent, newly escaped from prison, is already plotting her next move as her gang prepares to hijack the Good Neighbor ship "Peace," a vessel carrying vital food and medical supplies. With the Black Terror and his allies on the case, tensions rise as the Lady Serpent’s forces—including Hulga, Mogu, Naru, and Mike—close in on their target.
In "The Revenge of Red Ann!", the Black Terror and Tim Roland respond to a bank heist linked to the enigmatic Voice and his gang, only to find themselves drawn into a deadly vendetta led by the fierce Red Ann. With the past haunting her every move, Red Ann is determined to bring the Voice to justice—no matter the cost—while the truth behind her husband Bart’s death and her friend Trent’s betrayal begins to unravel.
When Bruce Brinton takes in a small puppy, his gruff exterior hides a rare kindness—but the dog’s innocent presence soon becomes a dangerous secret. Unbeknownst to him, the animal is secretly wired by Hacker Kane’s gang to track the movements of the Terror Twins, putting everyone in peril. With the Black Terror and Tim Roland on the case, the hunt is on to uncover the truth behind the plucky pup’s suspicious loyalty.
The Black Terror and Tim spring into action when a suspicious delivery at a remote lighthouse reveals something far more sinister—Baby-Face Felton and his gang are using the tower as a base for smuggling operations. Trapped by the criminals and forced to work quickly, the Terror Twins must outwit the thugs, rescue the lighthouse keeper's granddaughter Jane, and stop contraband from reaching the mainland. With harpoons, fishing nets, and one hungry sea gull named Bolo ready to help, it's a scramble of wits and fists to shut down the operation before the smugglers' ship arrives.
Steve Barry and Ploopie Carr, down to their last five dollars, take on a case that’s as strange as it is urgent: Mr. Abner Hastings, owner of Hastings Airplane Company, wakes up in an alley with his wallet and top-secret postwar airplane designs stolen—right after being seen entering a cab. With no leads and no time to waste, the Crime Crushers must unravel the mystery before hunger strikes, all while facing off against rival villain Horace Furman, the scheming Salvati, and a dangerous new player named Jimmy.
