collected by :Roy Mark

Marvel's "Black Panther" has earned $922 million worldwide and $512.6 million domestically. Marvel's Black Panther character has existed since the 1960s and preceded the launch of the Black Panther political party, by just a few months. Holland started with the classic Black Panther origin story written by Reginald Hudlin and fleshed it out. Holland said that his "Black Panther" novel is the perfect stepping stone for people who want to know more about the Wakandan superhero and his family depicted on screen. "It tells the story that helps reflect not only who the Black Panther is, but who we are, as the African American community."Advertisements
