Once upon a time, a young boy in the faraway land of Oakland walked into his local comic book shop. He'd already devoured all the typical superhero stuff, white men in tight bodysuits saving planets, traveling to exotic worlds in other dimensions, facing civilization's extinction over and over, saving it time after time. He absorbed these stories, believing in his own version of fairy tales. Yet, this boy wanted something different. He wanted to see titular heroes, not just folks on the fringes, who looked like him, who were black. One day he mustered up the courage to ask the shop employee if such a title existed. He was handed an issue of Black Panther.
