*Marvel: After a long stint as a supporting character and mainstay Avenger, the Black Panther was finally awarded his own series, taking over in Jungle Action from the 1950s reprints of scantily-clad white folks saving grateful black people, which to be honest was a bit tone-deaf even back then! The decision seems to have been made a bit suddenly, as T’Challa’s first solo was technically a reprint of his first clash with M’Baku the Man-Ape, but under the hands of scripter Don McGregor and diverse artists, it rapidly became one of the most talked-about series of the 70s. We have two of the Black Panther Jungle Action run new in stock: #5, 7.0 FN/VF at £70 and #13, 9.2 NM- at £40. Both are CGC Blue Label copies, indicating no restoration, but in full disclosure we should point out that the #5 has a stamped arrival date (over the ‘her’ in ‘Panther’ on the cover), which the CGC graders may not have taken into account, as technically it’s not a wear & tear defect.
