“Race Against Time”

In "Race Against Time," Black Panther, Abner Little, and Princess Zanda race through the deadly traps of King Solomon's tomb, chasing the elusive second Brass Frog. With Jack Kirby's dynamic art and Mike Royer's sharp inks bringing the ancient mystery to life, this 1977 Marvel classic sees the trio close in on a time machine long buried beneath legend—just as the past and future collide. Cover by Jack Kirby and John Verpoorten captures the high stakes in bold, sweeping detail.
