“Local Hero”

In "Local Hero," Black Panther tracks down Nightshade in Harlem, uncovering a web of secrets that ties the city to Wakanda, while Killmonger leads a surprising tour of his ancestral home—revealing more than he intended. Written by Priest and illustrated by Sal Velluto, with inks by Bob Almond and colors by Brad Vancata, this 2000 issue brings the Panther’s vigilance into the heart of a Harlem steeped in hidden legacy. The cover, also by Sal Velluto, captures the tension between the two worlds.
