Black Panther #15
In "Smash," writer Christopher Priest and artist Sal Velluto deliver a gripping flashback that unfolds through a hospital bed, where Nikki Adams hears Ross recount his past as Wakanda’s regent—his ritual elephant hunt and the unexpected clash with the Hulk that followed. The story, illustrated with dynamic precision by Velluto and Almond, blends personal memory with the weight of legacy, all rendered in Brad Vancata’s vivid colors and Sharpefont’s sharp lettering. Cover by Sal Velluto and Bob Almond captures the tension of a moment that echoes beyond the page.
