Black Panther by Christopher Priest: The Complete Collection #4
Against a fiery orange-and-crimson cityscape of silhouetted rooftops and antenna clusters, the Black Panther lunges forward in full prowl — claws extended, every line of his dark suit radiating coiled, predatory energy. It's a striking image that captures exactly the kind of street-level intensity Christopher Priest brought to T'Challa's world, with cover art by Patrick Zircher and Norm Rapmund giving the King of Wakanda an almost noir-thriller presence. This 2016 collected edition gathers work from Priest, alongside artists Texeira, Evans, Jusko, Manley, Bright, and Velluto, making it a genuinely satisfying way to experience one of Marvel's most thoughtfully crafted Black Panther runs in a single volume.
