About this episode

The episode discusses Jack Kirby's Black Panther issues #3-4, highlighting the character's adventures and encounters.

Black Panther continues his wild ride, courtesy of Jack Kirby -- but filling a role that could have been played by virtually any character. With Abner Little and Princess Zanda, we see him fight various treasure protectors, drive an incredibly stylish ancient vehicle, take on a samurai who's been transplanted to Africa, and more. Tim and Emmet try to keep up with the craziness. Brought to you by: Doomspeak podcast Our supporters on Patreon
