T'Challa vs. the Clan...great & controversial 70s covers

[JiveTurkeyMoFo]

So, you're a jaded Bronze Marvel collector and your collection seems unimprovable. X-Men # 94? Have it. Hulk # 181? Please. Amazing Spider-Man # 129? Picked it up for $5 way back when (and still chuckling over the stupid money newbies are willing to pay for a copy). So, if you need some really cool 70s Marvels to add to your collection, I submit these two beauties for your consideration...

 

 

Great action covers of the Black Panther battling the Clan. I wonder if # 21 would be controversial by contemporary societal standards?

Great series, that. A bit overwritten at times, but well worth a read, and very cheap compared to just about any other Marvel B.A. As for these covers being controversial and not possible today, yeah, these were a sign of the times, like blaxploitation movies. But there is only minor stereotyping of the black characters.

I've always wanted a CGC'd copy of #21, but I've never seen one for sale.

Loved that series. Didn't they finish up the clan storyline in Marvel Premiere after Kirbys' sudden take over of the Black Panther series?

[PUNYHUMAN]

Both are great covers ,but that # 21 is a CLASSIC!!!!!!

Uh oh, I smell the Variant Posse...

That low Guide value just doesn't make it worthwhile....maybe in a few years.

I think a 9.4 or 9.6 copy would bring at least $50-$100, so it's a comic worth slabbing.

That book should be in the QP APPRECIATION THREAD....

[THE_BEYONDER]

Wait a minute......

 

Is it just me, or is the bottom staple a little high?

Is that an offer?

I love that run. I got all three of them last year.

Thanks for sharing. I never even saw or heard of those books. (I knew about the series just not the specifics of the covers.) The 21 is definitly a sweet cover. I personally think I probably like the art that came out of the Bronze age the best. There are some great covers on some very obscure books that are still well under a Jackson.

Finding them for Guide AND in NM is the trick...but it sure is a fun hunt!

I have never picked up this series, never really been a big fan of the Black Panther outside of the FF. Never really thought he was a strong enough character to hold his own in a solo book.

wonder where you got that run from

I've upgraded a couple of them, but having readers is priceless!
