-* A villainous "Cult of the Black Sun" features in the {{wi|2000 AD (comics)|2000 AD}} [[Grant Morrison]] series {{wi|Zenith (comics)|Zenith}}, which was serialized in a period when ''2000 AD'' and Morrison were formative influences on [[Lawrence Miles]].<ref>[https://ninthart.org/display.php?article=739 Paradoxically Speaking: An Interview with Lawrence Miles]</ref> 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 (Interference)|the Cold]] of ''[[Interference (novel)|Interference]]''.

 ** This Cult of the Black Sun is later referenced in {{Wi|Caballistics, Inc.}}, a ''2000 AD'' series which indicates itself to exist in the [[Doctor Who universe]].
 ** ''[[The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Enemy (short story)|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. [[Gideon Barrow|The Morrison analogue]]'s plot-thread culminates in the author becoming part of the Enemy by entering a sun (à la Morrison's {{wi|All-Star Superman}}) and, à la ''Zenith'', corrupting it into a black sun from which he emerges as a [[many-angled one]].
