Fear of a Black Panther: Part One
“Fear of a Black Panther: Part One” is the excellent first part of an examination of Panther’s Rage: “a
classic 13 part super-hero story that predated the ‘adult’ stylings of
Watchmen & the Dark Knight Returns by over a decade. [It} was a dark, dense American super-hero comic that featured African
characters in every single one of its key roles, keeping with McGregor’s
plan that ‘all of the characters save one would be black.'”
