Now, this Centaur Comics character from Stars & Stripes,
July, 1941, was one of those comic characters who appeared out of
nowhere. No origin. No secret identity and...no second appearance.
Created, written and drawn by Paul Gustavson -who continued into the
1970s in comics.
Later on, Australian creator Paul Wheelahan created a Panther character -he drew his creation again in the 1990s.
"So what the hell has this got to do with Black Tower?" you ask. Well, I was working on a third volume of Centaur Heroes but it wasn't to be. I combined volumes 1 & 2 into The Ultimate Centaur Collection. But I do really love these characters and, yes, I really want to use them. Maybe another Centaur book or included in another title In black and white of course!
Now, I have absolutely no idea where all the scans I have on disc come from. I was sent a lot my a German comic fan in the early 2000s but I cannot even recall his name. Others have come to me via collectors. But who scanned what?? No idea but I do sincerely THANK them.
So here is the Black Panther's first and only appearance.
And how an edited page looks in black & white!

Wonderful. Word.
ReplyDeleteI love it because the character appears out of nowhere yet the villain knows him -hinting at The Black Panther being active for a while (but avoiding publicity). And that was it. Gone. When I get round to the character I think he'll have grey sleeves and tights -it gets cold you know!!
