Black Panther #2
In "The Six-Million Year Man," Jack Kirby's bold storytelling brings the Black Panther into a mind-bending clash across time, as the mysterious Hatch-22—trapped in the present—fights to return to his own era. With Kirby both writing and drawing, the issue blends sci-fi intrigue and ancient mystery as the Panther teams up with Princess Zanda and Abner Little on a quest to King Solomon's tomb, seeking the final piece of a time machine to send Hatch-22 home. The cover by Kirby and Frank Giacoia captures the story’s otherworldly tension, all in a 30-cent comic from 1977.
