The Black Terror: Seduction of Deceit Week: Day 1
One of my all time favorite comics is “The Black Terror: Seduction of Deceit” written by Beau Smith & Chuck Dixon with art by Dan Brereton. “The Black Terror: Seduction of Deceit” was a three issue mini-series published by Eclipse Comics in 1989/1990. Beau Smith described the story as “hardboiled, psychological and pulp-like” and Brereton’s painted art as “moody” and “cinematic”. He was right.
Today’s art is a preview piece that Brereton did to help promote the series. It sure worked for me. I loved Beau Smith’s concept, the look of the character and Brereton’s art. I was in and hoped that the series would live up to it’s promise… and boy, did it!
Craig,
Thank you very much for the words of iron on THE BLACK TERROR:Seduction of Deceit. I know I speak for Chuck and Dan when I say it was a wonderful time working on The Black Terror and our thanks go out to you for enjoying what we did.
Your amigo,

Beau,
Thank You so much for stopping by and leaving the comment. You guys did an amazing job in creating a series that was definitely a new take on what comics could be and still holds up today. Hopefully, someday it will get a new edition it truly deserves.
Hope you are able to check out the rest of the week. I’d love to hear any cooments that this week of posts may bring to mind.
best,
Craig
