Black Panther was the first black superhero to appear in mainstream American comics, introduced in 1966 in an issue of The Fantastic Four. A couple of decades later, a young Ta-Nehisi Coates found escape from the often bleak reality of West Baltimore, immersing himself in the stories of superheroes and finding early influence for his future writing career. Fast forward to 2016, with Ta-Nehisi pairing up with vaunted illustrator Brian Stelfreeze to usher in a new era for the Marvel character. His story A Nation Under Our Feet, was nominated for a Hugo award for Best Graphic Story.
