Scoring a 9.8 grade for even a recent unread comic book is a tall order of great magnitude. It’s exponentially tougher for a vintage Bronze Age comic to score such a lofty grade. Factor in this 1977 Marvel Black Panther #1 is the inaugural issue of the Wakandan King’s first solo title, and you’ve got the collecting equivalent of a whale in front of you. CGC has performed the encapsulation and provided the highly coveted (9.8, White Pages) grade for this key issue comic, which boasts the work of one of the all-time great comic creators. Label notes are “Jack Kirby Story, Jack Kirby & Mike Royer cover and art”.
