This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Maurice Broaddus, author of Black Panther: T’Challa Declassified.

About Black Panther: T’Challa Declassified: He’s a king, a hero, a loving brother and son, a husband to a goddess. The orphan king—the Haramu-Fal—and the Damisa-Sarki. And a man facing his doubts, his failures, and his destiny.

Revisit the life of one of Marvel Comics’ most iconic and inspiring characters via in-world interviews, journal entries, newspaper articles, and intelligence briefings from S.H.I.E.L.D. and other agencies.

Black Panther: T’Challa Declassified draws on more than half a century of classic tales to present an insightful, completely unique—and completely personal—take on one of the most talked-about heroes of all time.

Featuring the perspectives of T’Challa’s most important allies and enemies, including Shuri, Queen-Mother Ramonda, Ororo Munroe aka Storm, Everett K. Ross, Erik Killmonger, and the White Wolf, and accounts of some of Marvel Comics’ most memorable moments, this first-of-its-kind archival collection is a must-read for fans of all ages.
