For the first time ever, the complete classic adventures of the Black Panther are collected in this, the first a line of Omnibus editions!

In the 1960s, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created one of the most iconic super heroes ever conceived, the regal king of the Wakandans - the Black Panther. Roy Thomas, joined by top artists including John Buscema, brought the Panther into the ranks of the Avengers and delved into his origins and backstory. Then, Don McGregor launched T'Challa's first solo series. His "Panther's Rage" was an adventure so huge it ranged across the savannah, into the deepest jungles and over snow-topped mountains.

Complete with original letters pages and an extensive trove of bonus material, this Omnibus is a must for every Marvel fan.

Block, The (ca. 1971 Educational Promo) by Jim Steranko NN VG/FN 5.0

View items consigned by Bud Plant: all items, auctions only

Written and illustrated by Jim Steranko, based on a concept by Byron Preiss. Desperate for a way to reach inner-city students about the dangers of drug abuse and gang activity in a way that would connect with them, teacher Byron Preiss reached out to Jim Steranko in 1970 (inspired by his storytelling in the Nick Fury comic series) with an idea and a pro-bono proposal. Believing in the cause, and in comics' ability to be an impactful format, Steranko accepted the work, and within a year, The Block's first print run was released to schools in Philadelphia, accompanied by a worksheet for teachers to guide student dialogue (not included with any copies offered unless otherwise noted).

Later reprinted as a featured piece in Comixscene (1972) #4, this oversized newspaper-insert style was an educator's response to the burgeoning drug culture of the day. The number of print runs/distribution locations is unknown. 8 pages, approx. 11" x 17", B&W, newsprint.
