Planet of the Apes #59
In "When the Calliope Cries Death," the Panther returns to Wakanda to find unrest brewing in a mountain village, its people rallying behind a defiant leader known only as Erik Killmonger. Written by Don McGregor and illustrated by Rich Buckler, with inks by Klaus Janson and lettering by Tom Orzechowski, this pivotal issue unfolds at the legendary Warrior Falls, where the Panther’s resolve is tested in a clash that leaves him battered and at the edge of the precipice. The cover, by Pat Gabriele and Frank Giacoia, captures the moment’s tension in striking detail.
