Black Panther is best approached as a screen interpretation of the character’s foundations rather than a panel-for-panel adaptation. Start with Fantastic Four #52–53, then compare it with Jungle Action #6–18 and Black Panther #1–12 (1998). Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
