It's coming right for us! Awesome piece showcasing the literal namesake of the King of Wakanda. Congrats!
Reminds me of Manimal!!!! 🐆
Dude, I never heard of this show, but just looked it up, lol. Can definitely see the connection! You know what transformation show I dug from the late '80s? Werewolf. That was a good one. Been a long time since I thought about it, though, so I may have to watch some to push that nostalic button :)
Thanks, M, and all for the comments - always appreciated!
This man is on a roll, a BP tear! Long history of panthers in comic/fantasy art, Velluto doing Frazetta proud here!
Velluto and Almond are my all-time favorite Black Panther art team! Their run with Priest was phenomenal! Congrats on another great acquistion!
This panther feels very human in form, it's a nice mix of both cat panther (head, tail and paws) and character (most of the body form, arms, legs, backside). Interesting cover and fitting for your collection.
Yeah, man, it's interesting that way. Right away you think "panther" but then it's like "wait...not fully!" Can see that in that right forearm most. Also see M L's comment and my reply! Thanks for the add, James!
Well if you're going to add a Black Panther cover to your collection, you may as well get one that features the fictional character's namesake, right? By the way, does this black panther have a name and is he the Black Panther's black panther? Inquiring black panthers wan... uh... inquiring minds want to know!
This is my cover in their run
Where the offer was mailed for Bob Almond
I say grail on many I see
Panthers will always be Anthony's
Velluto in the run
Willed to me by the Panther's fans
All my days I will sing in praise
Hundred pages cover,
With jungle cat
Hands down, my favorite artist for Black Panther. His run from the late nineties to early 2000's was must read! Nice one, Kahlil
Nice cover from a most memorable run.
I loved those 100 page monsters that Marvel did for an all-too-brief period of time, so I remember this cover well. Fantastic pickup!
This is REALLY fantastic, K! You are right to call out the beautiful inks on this (holy moley!), but make no mistake: this drawing is not of "a" panther - this is The Black Panther as perceived by evildoers unfortunate enough to provoke his ire. There are elbows here (and a broad torso) and we're witnessing the "gone, gone, o form of man!" moment of anthropomorphism, where the Panther becomes a force of nature of his own, and woe betide those who encounter his fury! (Did I really just really use "woe betide" in a sentence in public?!?) Sal must have been leaning into the "100 page monster" angle! A great piece with some great storytelling behind it, too! Congrats, K!
Well I can understand the "woe betide" line as you had JUST quoted Etrigan...so...I'll give you a pass ;) And yeah, definitely a more "monstrous" feel to this cover than others, leaning into the occasion, as you say! Thanks for the add, Jason!
Nice kitty kitty..nice ki…AUGGHHH! What a powerful portrayal of Black Panther's spirit animal! Love the story behind you finally grabbing this gem. And I really love how those glints are coming off of the panther's claws.
Awesome you got this - I had seen it on Anthony's for a while too and honestly thought it was probably only a matter of time before it ended up in your collection. Congrats man!
Striking anthropomorphic depiction of the black panther, that pays homage to that memorable Texeira cover. Great inks by Almond!
Black Panther in savage form, what a awesome cover byto Sal!
Very memorable cover and now it has the perfect home!
Another great score, as always!
an actual panther cover! very cool addition bro
Savage!! Another great cover!
Another Velluto/ Almond classic! Congrats!
The Mix of anatomy is brilliant, this Cover is pure Power! Thanks for sharing, Kahlil!
Cutie cat!
A very familiar cover and always love the look of this. Really cool piece.
Great cover - meow!
This is sharp, and I do mean sharp! What an image.
