Black Panther #37

A dense jungle setting frames a tense standoff on Alan Davis and Mark Farmer's cover for Black Panther #37, with a fierce, skull-adorned warrior woman brandishing a broad sword and a bone weapon as she looms over a crouching Black Panther. Wild animals — including snarling primates in the canopy and a leopard prowling at the edge — amplify the raw, primal energy surrounding the confrontation. Reginald Hudlin and Francis Portela's "Back to Africa Part Three" promises exactly the kind of high-stakes action this cover so vividly sets the stage for.
