About the book

Black Panther: Long Live the King is a superhero comic written by Nnedi Okorafor and Aaron Covington, with art by André Lima Araújo, Mario Del Pennino and Tana Ford. T'Challa has saved the world many times over as the Black Panther and as a member of the Avengers, but his role as king of Wakanda carries a weight of its own. When a mysterious and destructive threat rises in Wakanda and spreads fear among its people, T'Challa must protect the nation he rules while also earning the trust of citizens who are questioning their king. The story focuses on Wakanda itself, its people and its traditions, as much as on its hero. Originally released as a digital comic, this collection marked its first time in print. It was a 2019 Hugo Award finalist for Best Graphic Story or Comic.
