Black Tiger

Born in the pages of The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #30 in 1976, Black Tiger is a Bronze Age Marvel creation from the celebrated team of Bill Mantlo and a young George Pérez — two names that defined some of the era's most kinetic, ambitious storytelling. Though the catalog trail is compact, it spans a remarkable stretch from 1976 all the way to 2021, a quiet testament to a character who clearly left an impression worth revisiting. Along the way, Black Tiger has shared pages with a genuinely eclectic cast — Abe Brown, Bushmaster, Thomas Fireheart, and even Bobby Drake — placing this figure squarely within Marvel's rich street-level and martial arts corner of the universe. With one key-issue appearance to the name and roots in one of the Bronze Age's most distinctive genre titles, Black Tiger is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Marvel history so rewarding.
