(The Order is already mentioned on the page (and the Cult on the Order's page), but we don't actually know they're literally just two names for the same thing. Perhaps one grew into the other, etc. These are possibilities left open by Miles's text which should not be undercut.) Tag: 2017 source edit |

The '''Cult of the [[Great Black Eye|Black Sun]]''' was one of many [[cult]]s created by [[Faction Paradox]], to which they revealed "all the nastiest secrets of the [[Time Lord]]s". Others included the [[Order of the Rectangle]] and the [[Luminus]].

* 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> 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]]''. 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 {{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]]. | |||
