Coming March 2021
The collection will include original works from a line-up of eighteen award-winning authors including Nikki Giovanni, Sheree Renée Thomas, Tananarive Due, Caldwell Turnbull, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, and Christopher Chambers.
The stories will be inspired by the Marvel Comics that gave birth to the first mainstream Black comic book Super Hero and his incredible universe that has fascinated readers of all ages, colors and genders. The anthology will be edited by Jesse J. Holland, the award-winning author of the Black Panther: Who Is the Black Panther? novelization (which was nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work). Holland is also a renowned African American historian, author, television personality and journalism professor.
“From his inception, the Black Panther inspired an entire audience who never before had seen themselves in a Super Hero universe, as well as heralding a new creative flame in comics, science fiction and literature,” Holland said. “These authors involved in Black Panther: Tales of Wakanda took that flame and put their own unique cultural marks on the work. This book represents the pure creativity they brought to the worlds of Wakanda and the Black Panther and takes the reader on a tour of the past, present and future of one of comic’s most enduring and exciting characters.”
“It is hugely exciting to be involved with this exploration of the Black Panther universe,” said Laura Price, Titan Books Editorial Director. “Seeing such a thrilling range of stories come together is one of the best things of 2020 for me.”
