Terror



Character originally created by Richard E. Hughes and Don Gabrielson Current character redesigned by Gary James.

The Beginning of Terror was to have opened in the 1980s, with a young character learning the secret identity of Terror, and encouraging Benton to reveal the details of his crime-fighting alter-ego. The superhero elements were downplayed in favor of a more Batman-like emphasis on mystery and detective-work, using the "formic ether" explanation as a psychological weapon against his enemies.

The notion of a second revamp was to take the essential elements of the character - his name, occupation, abilities, and the relationships with other characters - and essentially discarding everything which was piled onto the character in the years following his creation. An immense (120,000 word) story bible was provided to invoke a more solid grounding for the character, and this will be used by for the future novels.

A release of the current version of the character is expected at some point towards the beginning of 2015, with new titles appearing monthly thereafter.
