Khanata

A product of Jack Kirby's bold, imaginative Bronze Age Marvel work, Khanata made their debut in Black Panther #8 in 1978 — part of the King's visionary and all-too-brief run on that series. Sharing the pages with T'Challa himself alongside figures like N'Gassi, Doctor Joshua Itobo, and Jiru, Khanata inhabits a rich corner of Marvel's African-rooted mythology. With only a handful of appearances to their name, this is exactly the kind of rare Bronze Age discovery that makes digging through Kirby's Black Panther run such a rewarding adventure for collectors and fans alike.
