From Script To Page: Black Panther #30

Cover art by Sal Velluto
Well the Black Panther movie is out and by accounts its a winner. I've not seen it yet, hopefully I'll rectify that very soon. In the meantime, enjoy this, the second entry in a series I'll be calling From Script To Page.

Today's entry is the splash page to Black Panther #30 (Marvel Comics, May 2001), written by Christopher Priest and drawn by my chum Norm Breyfogle. What you see here is the first page of the script, the preliminary sketch, the penciled page and the final, fully inked, page as published in the comic book. Titled The Story Thus Far, the comic book focuses on the somewhat convoluted relationship between The Black Panther and Captain America from their first meeting in World War II to the (then) present day. As with anything that Priest writes, there's a lot going on in these pages.

Priest's script is one of the biggest I've seen for a Marvel comic. Running in at a hopping 43 pages, the script provides background and detail on every single panel in the book. Priest also gives the motivation for what the characters are doing, and why. I've not seen another Priest script yet, but as this one was written for then regular penciler Sal Velluto, I expect that they're all this big.

Kind of puts the lie to the Marvel Method. If you haven't read the Priest run of The Black Panther then you really should. The story was magnificent and the art, from the likes of Sal Velluto, Bob Almond, Mark Texeria, Mark 'Doc' Bright, Norm Breyfogle and others is stellar. Indeed the team of Velluto and Almond is one of comic books classic teams, they mesh perfectly and, working with Priest, helped make the book as perfect as it is.

So, enjoy this glimpse into the methods of Priest and Breyfogle, and then go and read the comics!

watch32 movies - Masterful job by Ryan Coogler and cinematographer Rachel Morrison as well as the entire cast. People complaining of politics in this film are suffering from delusions of their own making. Its a movie about a fictional king in a fictional country. True Marvel fans will know that you can't tell the story of BP without the origins and practices of Wakanda. Anyway, Michael B. Jordan (No relation) plays the realest villain since Magneto. (Another character whose anger comes from a real place) Enjoyed Jordan in Creed and liked the character. Which made it hard to accept him as a bad guy. However he quickly made me change my mind as the menacing Killmonger. In short see the movie for what it is, another Marvel hit, this time with a different spin that will bring a new base of fans to the Marvel dynasty.
