The contrast in brightness between the two images was tough to work with on this one so I have never been 100% pleased with how it came out. Maybe I'll do another Black Panther cover one of these days.
The image here is from T'Challa's first appearance in Fantastic Four. I always liked how Marvel had heroes and villains who commanded entire Nations. Dr. Doom, Namor, Black Bolt and The Black Panther seemed to rise above their peers for that reason. Over at DC I guess Aquaman ruled Atlantis, but I seem to remember him being exiled a lot.
I'm pretty partial to this one as Batman & Black Panther are 2 of my favorite characters. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOne of my absolute favorite issues of B&B was this one with Batman and Karate Kid. I wasn't too familiar with the Legion of Superheroes just yet, but thought Karate Kid was a great answer to Marvel's Iron Fist.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Black Adam and Geo-Force? They're rulers of Kandaq and Markovia respectively.
ReplyDeleteAll the kids in my old neighborhood played "Superheroes" during the Sixties and early Seventies. And, one summer, we pretended to be Batman, Black Panther, and Luke Cage (Hero For Hire)! Too bad you've never done that threesome.
