title: Black Panther (comics) text: a reprint of the Panther-centric story in "The Avengers" #62 (March 1969). A new series began running the following issue, written by Don McGregor, with art by pencilers Rich Buckler, Gil Kane, and Billy Graham, and which gave inkers Klaus Janson and Bob McLeod some of their first professional exposure. The critically acclaimed series ran in "Jungle Action" #6–24 (Sept. 1973 – Nov. 1976). One now-common format McGregor pioneered was that of the self-contained, multi-issue story arc. The first, "Panther's Rage", ran through the first 13 issues. Critic Jason Sacks has called the arc "Marvel's first graphic novel": The second title: Black Panther (comics) text: Panther" vol. 2, (July–Oct. 1988) was written by Peter B. Gillis and penciled by Denys Cowan. McGregor revisited his Panther saga with Gene Colan in "Panther's Quest", published as 25 eight-page installments within the bi-weekly anthology series "Marvel Comics Presents" (issues #13–37, Feb.–Dec. 1989). He later teamed with artist Dwayne Turner in the square-bound miniseries "Black Panther: Panther's Prey" (Sept. 1990 – March 1991). McGregor conceived a fifth arc in his Black Panther saga, titled "Panther's Vows", but it failed to get off the ground. Writer Christopher Priest's and penciller Mark Texeira's 1998 series "The Black Panther" vol. 3 used title: Black Panther (comics) text: Kirby—newly returned to Marvel after having decamped to rival DC Comics for a time—as writer, penciler, and editor. However, Kirby wanted to work on new characters and was unhappy at being assigned a series starring a character he had already worked with extensively. He left the series after only 12 issues and was replaced by Ed Hannigan (writer), Jerry Bingham (penciler), and Roger Stern (editor). "Black Panther" ran 15 issues (Jan. 1977 – May 1979). Due to the series's cancellation, the contents of what would have been "Black Panther" #16–18 were published in "Marvel Premiere" #51–53. A four-issue miniseries, "Black title: Jungle Action text: Jungle Action Jungle Action is the name of two American comic book series published by Marvel Comics and its 1950s precursor, Atlas Comics. The Marvel version contained the first series starring the Black Panther, the first black superhero in mainstream comics, created by the writer/artist team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in "Fantastic Four" #52 (July 1966). The first series – published during a time of few superheroes, when comics featured an enormous assortment of genres – was a multi-character omnibus that ran six issues (Oct. 1954 – Aug. 1955). Each starred the blond-haired, Tarzanesque Lo-Zar, Lord of the title: Black Panther (comics) text: Black Panther had been misused in the years after his creation. The last 13 issues (#50–62) saw the main character replaced by a multiracial New York City police officer named Kasper Cole, with T'Challa relegated to a supporting character. This Black Panther, who became the White Tiger, was placed in the series "The Crew", running concurrently with the final few "Black Panther" issues. "The Crew" was canceled with issue #7.
