Jack Kirby's Very First Sketch of BLACK PANTHER Revealed

The grandson of legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby has shared the very first sketch that he drew of Black Panther. As you can see, the character has evolved a lot since this first initial sketch. The image came with the following note from Jeremy Kirby:

“When my grandfather first put pencil to paper on @theblackpanther he had no idea a simple sketch would change so many lives. He wanted to make a small contribution to equality and give readers a hero who looked like them. Congratulations team for an amazing movie! First BP sketch.”

The art was shared earlier this week shortly after Marvel’s Black Panther movie was nominated for Best Picture at the oscars.
