Black Goliath

Marvel’s Black Goliath (1976) is a short but significant solo series starring Bill Foster, the brilliant physicist who takes on the mantle of the size-changing hero. Written primarily by Tony Isabella and Chris Claremont, with art by George Tuska, Don Heck, and Keith Pollard, the five-issue run pits Foster against threats like Herbert Bell and Talia Kruma while exploring the challenges of being a Black scientist and superhero in the 1970s. Though brief, the series cemented Foster’s place in Marvel lore as a thoughtful, understated hero whose legacy would resonate for decades.
