I picked this this comic book up 30 years ago and have had it bagged & boarded in a cedar chest for its protection. I knew then that this was going to be a key book(a true key book); because Black Panther became one of Marvel's first (if not the first) and primary black superheros. Right about the same time of this on-going series was the introduction of a Black Goliath (played by Lawrence Fishburne in "Ant-Man and the Wasp") on-going series. Marvel was attempting to expand their reading audience from the traditional white male youth by introducing non-traditional role models; "Black Panther" & "Black Goliath" towards the African-American males and MS Marvel for the young female audience.
