The dreaded Black Friday is here again, the day when many of us offer up a silent prayer of thanks to our deity of choice that we don't work in retail. With the first cinematic appearance of T'Challa, Prince of Wakanda ( the Black Panther to you ) being teased in the recently dropped
Captain America: Civil War trailer it got me thinking of the MCU's regal African prince. ( Yeah, I know... my brain works that way. ) Above is the original, unused cover by King Kirby ( of Brooklyn ) for the Panther's debut in
FF #52...
and below is my copy of that issue as published, with an absolutely gorgeous Kirby / Sinnott cover...
And here's Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa from the upcoming Marvel slugfest. Can't wait to see this one!
And, seriously... consumers - just be careful out there...
Black!
Up here in the North East our Friday didn't get black till about 4 pm.
ReplyDeleteI had already done my shopping whilst it was still white.
I had a bad thought the other day where Marvel casts a white guy to be the Black Panther and have the world lose it's mind. I don't know what that means but I sure hope they don't mess T'Challa up. The short clips we get of him are already awesome.

I'm really looking forward to the Black Panther movie. If they don't mess with the concept too much but keep T'Challa as African royalty it will make a refreshing change from the usual super hero stuff...
