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.

Contains 4 stories
The Lunchtime Follies
14 pp

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. The Black Terror springs into action to save the plant's irreplaceable machinery, only to uncover a sinister Nazi sabotage plot that threatens far more than just the factory. 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.

Killer Apes on the Loose
14 pp

When Nazis kidnap the explorer who lectured about killer apes in Africa, the Black Terror pursues them across the ocean to stop a sinister plot—Kraft and his men are using a hypnotic serum to transform the apes into weapons for the Axis cause. Now the Terror and his partner Tim must break free from the natives' control, rescue the captured explorer and his friend Jean, and prevent an army of maddened apes from being unleashed against Allied forces across North Africa.

Wartime London
15 pp

Bob Benton, an American druggist serving on a medical mission in wartime London, stumbles onto a dangerous spy ring—the Brown Hoods—a sabotage outfit working for the Nazis to destroy British war plants. When the gang discovers his knowledge of their operation and threatens both him and his friend Jean, Bob transforms into the Black Terror to fight his way through their plots, racing from London to Liverpool and back again in a desperate bid to stop them before they can strike their next target. Packed with chases, rooftop pursuits, and hand-to-hand action across the English countryside, this 1943 tale pits the Black Terror against fascist treachery on foreign soil.

Death at the Ballet
12 pp

Steve Barry and Ploopie Carr are hired for a quick hundred bucks to deliver a mysterious note to Katrina Trinova, the renowned ballet star—but their simple errand goes sideways when they're chased by thugs and end up caught in the middle of a murder at the opera house. When Boros, Trinova's fellow dancer, is shot dead during his famous death leap on stage, Steve and Ploopie find themselves framed for the crime and forced to uncover the truth before the real killers silence them for good.
