Black Panther #6

Joe Jusko's cover for this 1999 Marvel Knights issue sets the scene with visceral energy: Black Panther leaps forward in his sleek vibranium suit while a wild-maned, leopard-skin-clad attacker lunges at him from behind, blades in hand, amid the chaos of a trashed commercial kitchen. A nervous man in a green suit cowers in the foreground clutching a frying pan, with a snarling lion looming at lower right — suggesting T'Challa's troubles come from every direction at once. Writer Christopher Priest and cover artist Joe Jusko make "Hunted" look like exactly the kind of issue that earns its title.
