During the Black Panther's long history, he has lived through many adventures, chronicled in many published comic book stories by many talented creative teams. Below is a listing of some of the Panther's most prominent stories. Each story page contains a listing of the comics in which the story was told, a synopsis of the story (bereft of major revelations--the idea is for you to go out and actually read these stories, so I don't want to give away everything!), and a rating and brief review of the story. See the legend on the right for a summary of the story ratings. More stories will be listed over time. They are listed in chronological order based on the publication dates of the comics in which the stories appeared. Fantastic Four, Vol. 1 #52-53 Jungle Action #6-18 Jungle Action #19-22, 24 & Marvel Premiere #51-53 Black Panther (Vol. 1) #11-13 Defenders (Vol. 1) #84-86 Iron Man Annual #5 Amazing Spider-Man Annual #25, Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #11, Web of Spider-Man Annual #7 Black Panther, Vol. 2 #1-5 Black Panther, Vol. 2 #6-8 Black Panther, Vol. 2 #9-12 Black Panther, Vol. 2 #26-29
