by Unknown's avatar

While T’Challa serves as the narrative center of Don McGregor, Billy Graham, and Rich Buckler’s “Panther’s Rage” story arc in Jungle Action Featuring: Black Panther, the series contains numerous supporting characters who have their own tragectories over the course of the arc. One of these is Kantu, a nine-year-old boy who appears in almost every issue of the arc. Early in “Panther’s Rage,” Killmonger’s men … Read More No One Escapes War Unscathed: Kantu Observing War in Don McGregor and Billy Graham’s “Panther’s Rage”

The Inevitable Cost of War in “Jungle Action” #11

by Unknown's avatar

Recently, I examined some of Billy Graham’s layouts and panels in Jungle Action Featuring: The Black Panther #11. Since then, I can’t stop thinking about this issue and the ways that it confronts the physical and psychological destruction caused by war and hatred. It reminds me, in some ways, of Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña’s Escape, a series I have written about over the past few months as well. While … Read More The Inevitable Cost of War in “Jungle Action” #11

Luke Cage, Stagolee, and the Importance of Myth

by Unknown's avatar

Mike Benson and Adam Glass’Luke Cage Noir (2009-2010) pulls from a Noir aesthetic full of femme fatales, double crosses, and private eyes all within Prohibition Era Harlem. The story turns Luke Cage into a Noir protagonist that struggles with life outside of prison, ultimately killing himself at the end of issue #4. It is Luke Cage’s death that struck me in this story, and … Read More Luke Cage, Stagolee, and the Importance of Myth

The Black Panther in The Past, The Present, and the Future in Jungle Action #22

by Unknown's avatar

For the past couple of posts, I have written about “The Panther vs. The Klan” story arc from Marvel’s Jungle Action series in the 1970s. Today, I want to finish up this discussion by looking at issue 22 where Jessica Lynne tells the story of Cousin Caleb’s encounters with the Klan and White Supremacy after the Civil War in 1867. Along with Jessica’s recollections … Read More The Black Panther in The Past, The Present, and the Future in Jungle Action #22

The Myth of America and The Black Panther in Jungle Action

by Unknown's avatar

Last post, I wrote about the scene that opens Jungle Action #20 where T’Challa, in full Black Panther costume, and Monica Lynne shop at a grocery store and get attacked but Klan members. The scene, while action packed, draws attention to T’Challa’s humanity and causes the reader to confront racial profiling and surveillance of black bodies by whites, Rebecca Winthrop, along with the rest … Read More The Myth of America and The Black Panther in Jungle Action
