Origin

Bo Briantus was a chemist of the year 9767 AD. He developed an antidote to the chemicals with which Kroll Mull drugged his subjects to make them think the images from his dream palaces were real. He broke into a dream palace where the Black Terror and Tim were imprisoned and helped them escape. Together, they overthrew Kroll Mull and brought him to justice using atomic weapons Briantus had designed. The Black Terror appointed Bo Briantus as his deputy and returned to the present with a little memento from the future.

Notes

  • The Nedor comics were renewed by Popular Library, which was eventually bought out by Fawcett Books. When Fawcett went out of business, Popular Library was sold to Warner Bros. A number of different publishers, however, are currently/have been using these characters without any lawsuits from Warner Bros., so any action over them is (probably) unlikely. They are still, however, "use at your own risk" characters.
