Hello and welcome to the nineteenth shark infested issue of All-Amazing Comics!!! Here you'll get a monthly dose of Golden Age goodness! Enjoy!
***Big Announcement!!!***
Yeesh! It's getting to where I need to make a Big Announcement every month! This month however, it's a great one for both me AND you! You see, in the last month, I have received a rather large donation for this site and my CDs! My new friend, Scott Nichols has sent me 91 golden age comics for me to scan and use!!! There's a little of everything is this collection, and that means you are in for some GREAT stories starting with an early Skyman and a Phantom Falcon in Spotlight #7, and then in a Doll Man and Doll Girl story next month!!! Everyone give a BIG thank you to Scott!!!!!
The Shark
 The Shark
    -Story taken from Amazing-Man Comics #15
Centaur Publications Inc. August 1940
     -Writer- Unknown
     -Penciler- Unknown
     -Inker- Unknown
    -A.K.A.- Unknown
    -Known Powers- Strength and invulnerability in the water, grows weak when on land too long. (Gee, looks like 'ol Aquaman is more than just a Sub-Mariner rip-off...) The latter point was corrected when his father, Neptune, gave him a knife that would help him retain his strength as well as command water, and teleport through it.
    -Known Appearances- Amazing-Man Comics 6-22; Keen Detective Funnies vol.2 no.6
Black Terror and Tim
    -Story taken from America's Best Comics #18
Visual Editions Inc. June 1946
     -Writer- Edmund Hamilton(?)
     -Penciler- Ed Moritz
     -Inker- Ed Moritz
    -A.K.A.- Bob Benton
    -Known Powers- Black Terror: Strength, invulnerability Tim: None
    -Other information- An accident during an experiment with formic ether vapors gave pharmacist, Bob Benton, superhuman strength and invulnerability which he used to fight crime and espionage as the Black Terror! Not much about Bob's personal life was ever given but it was generally known that he, in some way, knew the Black Terror. His degree of strength varied but for some reason he could always be knocked out by a blow to the head. 
    Tim Roland was a delivery boy for Bob Benton who somehow discovered Bob's other life and became the Kid Terror (as far as I know though that name was only used in Exciting Comics #69). Tim had no powers of his own, thus slightly easier to beat than Black Terror. Though he played second fiddle to Black Terror for most of his career, Tim got to take center stage in Exciting #69 (reprinted in Pure Excitement Comics 24). 
    -Known Appearances- America's Best Comics 1-31; Black Terror 1-27; Exciting Comics 9-69
