As Jimmy(draybar) mentioned,.....no, there have never been any patternless solid black corns in the hobby thus far.
This hypermelanistic wild-caught corn I owned back in the early 90's could have possibly started some at some point, but I never got the chance to breed it and work with any possibilities it might have had unfortunately. As you can see, it displays a VERY unusual amount of melanin on it's entire background color, and portions of half it's body are indeed solid black with the exception of the saddle blotches.
I bet this could have produced some absolutely stunning high-white amels too if it was introduced into them back then...*sigh*..
