The Black Panther (T\u2019Challa) made his comic strip debut in Fantastic Four<\/em>: \u201cThe Black Panther\u201d (Vol 1 #52) in July 1966. The superhero character premiered in his first solo series in 1977, followed by periodic runs through 2016.<\/p>\n

Originally created by Stan Lee (writer) and Jack Kirby (penciler) during the era of the civil rights struggle, the comic addressed the lack of black superheroes in the broader American narrative.\u00a0 The Black Panther\u2019s significance is multilayered and includes anti-stereotypical representation, self-empowerment, and connectivity to Africa. T\u2019Challa is as relevant today as when first created, as witnessed by the record-breaking box-office sales for the Black Panther <\/em>movie and the character\u2019s popularity on social media.<\/p>\n
