episode 2: Back to Wakanda
1973 saw Black Panther return to Wakanda, after a brief stint in the US with the Avengers, only to find his kingdom riven by infighting and sedition. Written by Don McGregor with art by Rich Buckler and Billy Graham, Panther's Rage picked up right where Stan Lee and Jack Kirby left off by presenting a counter to T’Challa’s crusade in America by establishing Wakanda, and the responsibilities that come with being a king, and the how those two worlds not only differ, but also struggle to coexist.
