The Black Terror #3
The Black Terror battles Nazi agents and the criminal "Brown Hood Gang" across London and Liverpool. After encountering spies and eavesdroppers, the Black Terror defeats the villains in combat and helps authorities unmask the Brown Hood as Mr. A.A. Chester, chairman of a war industries company who was secretly selling defense interests to enemies and using his criminal enterprise to maintain power. The issue culminates with the Black Terror urging citizens to buy war bonds and stamps to support the war effort against such traitorous threats.
Bob Benton and his pal Tim head to a war plant to catch Jean's performance with the Lunchtime Follies—a morale-boosting entertainment show for factory workers—but their visit takes a dangerous turn when they encounter hostile strangers and a mysterious explosion rocks the facility.

With Jean caught in the crossfire and time running out, the Terror must outthink a ruthless enemy operative to stop the next phase of their diabolical scheme.
