The Cult of the Black Sun was one of many cults created by Faction Paradox, to which they revealed "all the nastiest secrets of the Time Lords". Others included the Order of the Rectangle and the Luminus. (PROSE: Interference - Book One) Notably, there existed a time-active Order of the Black Sun, which had a complex relationship with the Time Lords. (COMIC: 4-D War, Black Sun Rising, The Final Chapter)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- A villainous "Cult of the Black Sun" features in the 2000 AD Grant Morrison series Zenith, which was serialised in a period when 2000 AD and Morrison were formative influences on Lawrence Miles.[1] In the story Blow Up, they were outright referenced as "the Order of the Black Sun", though this was changed in later issues. This Cult is a Nazi sect who worship the Lloigor that invade universes via corrupted black suns, sharing several similarities with the Cold of Interference. The Cult's representative Lloigor is the Eater of Souls. In one Zenith storyline, the Cult's Lloigor threaten a multiverse of British comic continuities.
- This Cult of the Black Sun is later referenced in Caballistics, Inc., a 2000 AD series which indicates itself to exist in the Doctor Who universe.
- The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Enemy, in telling a fictional version of Alan Moore and Morrison's careers, inferentially connects Morrison's Cult of the Black Sun with Moore's Order of the Black Sun, indicating that both concepts were blatant glimpses of the Enemy's true form. The Morrison analogue's plot-thread culminates in the author becoming part of the Enemy by entering a sun (à la Morrison's All-Star Superman) and, à la Zenith, corrupting it into a black sun from which he emerges as a many-angled one.
