This is where the legend began.

In 1966, The Black Panther made his first comic book appearance in the pages of Fantastic Four #52. 

Within this astonishing issue, Black Panther, aka T'Challa, handily defeated the Fantastic Four with his enhanced physical abilities, his incomparable intelligence, and an inescapable, technologically superior jungle landscape.

From that point on, the rumors of The Black Panther's prowess were no longer rumors -- they were full-color comic book facts!

Our Black Panther Strikes Men's T-Shirt celebrates the origins of Marvel Comics' panther-themed warrior-king with an illustration pulled from his early comic book exploits.

Made from an especially soft 100% cotton, this Black Panther t-shirt for men features a purposely distressed Panther discerned through moonlight, leaping directly underneath his classic logo.

And yes, it's not just you -- he's very intimidating.
