Someone asked wheher I had ever used "AI search" and seen what it comes up with re BTC&B. I had not. I tried and this came back:
Black Tower Comics and Books is an independent British small-press imprint founded in 1984 by editor, artist, and writer Terry Hooper-Scharf. It holds a notable reputation as one of the UK’s longest-running publishers of independent black-and-white comics and specialized pop-culture history books.
📜 History and Core Focus
- Small Press Roots: It launched in February 1984, originally printing digest-sized (A5) anthology titles like Black Tower Adventure, Presents, and Windows.
- The 1980s Boom: The imprint played a key role in boosting the UK independent comic scene in the late 1980s, largely through its trade-information publication Zine Zone International.
- Preserving British History: A major part of Black Tower's identity is archiving lost comic history. Through lines like the Black Tower Gold Collection, they scan, clean, and reprint forgotten characters from the British Golden Age of Comics (such as Streamline, Electrogirl, and Ace Hart).
- Eclectic Catalog: Alongside original black-and-white adventure titles like Krakos: Sands of Terror and The Iron Warrior, the imprint publishes prose books covering cryptids, UFOs, and wildlife.
Well, even AI has heard of us!
