American Update: Beware… The Black Panther! The King of Wakanda Debuts in Fantastic Four #52!
*Marvel: Lee & Kirby’s Fantastic Four added to its many innovations in 1966’s FF #52, when they introduced the first black super-hero in comics. The Black Panther was the head of a highly sophisticated and technologically advanced African nation, Wakanda, and was in time to become not only one of the FF’s greatest allies, but a mainstay of their fellow heroes, the Avengers. Soon to be the star of his own movie, T’Challa’s star has never been riding higher in the public consciousness, so now is the time to acquire his premier appearance! This copy of FF #52 is VG/FN p at £275; strong, largely unbroken black cover background, very tricky to find in high grade, with only faint spine creasing and a tiny flaw in mid-upper cover edge preventing a still higher grade. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
