Marvel Comics Presents #20
In "The Retribution Affair: Part IV: Conscience of the King," T'Challa moves through the tense streets of a black township, where a young boy named Theodore Olebogeng is in danger. With quick thinking and courage, he intercepts a truck used to tear gas the area, only to be shot by the soldier behind the wheel—Eugene van der Merwe. Written by Don McGregor and illustrated with stark intensity by Gene Colan, with inks by Tom Palmer and colors by Glynis Oliver, this gripping chapter unfolds with quiet dread. The cover, by Mike Mignola, captures the moment’s weight in bold, moody lines.
