American Update: Pride of the Panther! Kirby’s Black Panther series (virtually) complete!
*Marvel: The Black Panther’s series in Jungle Action, which attracted a lot of acclaim at the time, was known for being verbose, introspective, reflective and philosophical. When Jack Kirby took over as writer and artists on T’Challa’s follow-up solo series, however, the results were… a considerable contrast. Shouting! Explosions! Aliens! Time-Travel! Burly ladies with black lipstick! Cosmic critters! All were here, and all playing at full volume all the time, in the crazed kinetic frenzy that Kirby was renowned for, as the King of Wakanda faced off against the Six-Million Year Man, King Solomon’s Frog, the sinister Agents of Kiber, Yetis, Samurais, and other bizarre menaces. Owing to one of Jolly Jack’s ongoing creator disputes with Marvel, he departed the series abruptly with #12, and other hands brought the outstanding plot-threads to a conclusion with #15. We have virtually the entire series (lacking only #11) new in in high grades. Klimb aboard for Kirby Kraziness!
