American Update: Debut of 1st Black Panther series & villain Killmonger in Jungle Action #6
*Marvel: Given that his debut had been in 1966, it was surprising that Marvel waited until 1974 to give the Black Panther his own shot at a solo series, but that omission was rectified when T’Challa took over the Jungle Action title, which had foundered under the weight of 1950s reprints. Issue #6 saw the debut of a new series of Black Panther adventures (an edited reprint of a T’Challa-heavy Avengers issue had filled #5), set in his native Wakanda, and introducing a plethora of new supporting characters – many of whom were used in the recent Black Panther cinematic blockbuster! One such example was Killmonger, the primary nemesis in the recent BP flick, who made his very first appearance in this issue. This copy of Jungle Action #6 – one of several never distributed in the United Kingdom – is FN+ cents, a highly attractive copy which would grade higher but for a tiny chip out of the bottom right cover corner and a very slight crease in the upper left cover. On sale at £60. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
