Don McGregor was part of a wave of young writers set on evolving the medium they loved as kids. Don’s heyday with Marvel in the 1970s produced two bona fide comic classics with the Black Panther and Killraven. The Black Panther was one of the first regular comic series starring a black character. Don McGregor defined the land, legend and people of Wakanda, and his 18 issue run in JA still carries great weight today as a groundbreaking series of action, intense drama and social relevance. Billy Graham was one of the comic industry’s brightest young talents in the 1970s. His style was born out of his love of fantasy artists such as Al Williamson and Frank Frazetta, and Jack Kirby. His first title at Marvel was Hero for Hire, and he penciled, co-plotted, and/or inked the first 16 issues of Luke Cage’s title, which was Marvel’s 1st ongoing series featuring a black character. On his next assignment, he joined Don McGregor on the Black Panther in Jungle Action. His rendition of the Wakandan warrior king would define the character for a generation of readers. Billy begin a close friendship with Don McGregor which continued till his death in 1999 at the age of 64. He had a respected legacy at Marvel as an artist and inker which helped define the African American experience and super heroes in comics. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition.
Ps: The legendary Don McGregor, the creator of Killmonger, and the definitive BP storyteller, inscribed on the top margin to his friend, artist Billy Graham, “For Billy, for all the momentous moments and memories!”
