Black Panther: A Cultural Exploration by Ytasha Womack
5.0
I wasn't expecting this when I started on this book, and I was very surprised, in a good way.
This is a detailed and engaging deep dive into the history of Black Panther, from what first inspired the creation of the character to all its adventure, from the 60s until today. Ytasha Womack also introduces the different Marvel designers and artists who got to create the different styles throughout this time period. He then dives into the cultural influences that helped shape the character and that inspired some of his well-known and less-known adventures.
I would it very interesting and engaging. The language is very easy to follow and the style is quite direct and concise. I found the description and history of Afrofuturism fascinating, along with how famous black people through history shaped this hero and its story.
A compelling backstory of a beloved character that every fan should have in their collection.
Thank you Marvel and Netgalley for e-ARC!
