Have you ever heard about the first Black superhero? If you are an avid Marvel comic’s reader, you’ll probably know who he is… Let me introduce the Black Panther so listen up!

According to the Wikipedia, The Black Panther (T’Challa) is a story bound character in the Marvel Comics universe who is the very first modern Black superhero. It was created by the legendary writer-editor Stan Lee and penciller-co-plotter Jack Kirby. The Black Panther first appeared in Fantastic Four vol. 1, #52 (July 1966). Even though there have been several men who have worn the Black Panther identity throughout the narration of the Marvel Universe, this piece refers exclusively to the modern-day Black Panther, also known by his birth name, T’Challa.
