Fantastic Four #52 has Stan Lee and Jack Kirby expanding the Marvel Age's presence way past the NYC boroughs. The creative team knew that the comic would provide an impressive readership for the first appearance of the Black Panther and T'Challa. The super-team heads to Wakanda and discovers the existence of Vibranium (which gets its proper name in the next issue) while also being welcomed via a test of battle. The Black Panther, of course, would become one of Marvel's most valuable properties. There's still eager anticipation for the role of the character in the upcoming films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with this classic tale remaining a top Silver Age collectible.
