Don McGregor, Billy Graham, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Rich Buckler, Klaus Hanson - Black Panther: Panther's Rage (1966-76) Collecting a bunch of issues starring the Black Panther spanning a decade and starting with 2 issues of Avengers (#52-53) of the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby run and then jumping to the full Don McGregor run in Jungle Stories (#6-24) in the mid 70s. The Lee/Kirby issues introduce the Panther but are really not essential, what is essential reading not only for fans of marvel, but fans of comics in general is the McGregor run. Not only does it include a 12 issue arc developing Wakanda and its backstory, as well as developing T'Challa's character and his relation to others such as Killmonger with a storyline that has much in common with the story from the recent film. It is also a deeply political collection of issues, for the issues set in Wakanda for example there is a single white character, a henchman of Killmonger, Venomm, who doesn't even appear frequently for the whole arc as he spends most of it in jail. It's truly afrocentric, set in an African nation populated by black characters who are self-sufficient and self assured, racism isn't even an issue here as in Wakanda it would make no sense. In contrast to a vision of a developed African nation we get the following arc, which goes on until the end of the book where the Panther goes to the South of the US and gets involved in fighting the KKK. The whole book is great, amazing layouts and art, particularly by Billy Graham and truly revolutionary writing by McGregor, a true essential.
