* NoImmortalInertia: The Ronin of Samurai City are immortal as long as they keep drinking the ElixirOfLife from their sacred waterskin. Without access to it, they age into withered corpses.

''Black Panther'' is a 1977 comic book from Creator/MarvelComics, the first volume of the comic starring [[Characters/BlackPantherTitleCharacter T'Challa]], the titular Black Panther. It was initially written by Creator/JackKirby, who also provided the art (with inks by Mike Roger and color art by Dave Hunt) and edited the series.

T'Challa's solo adventures had previously appeared in ComicBook/{{Jungle Action|1972}}, with a different creative team. However, that series was CutShort just before ''Black Panther'' launched, and Kirby immediately started an entirely new storyline in the first issue, without acknowledging the unfinished arc that ended the previous series.
----
!! ''Black Panther'' (1977) provides examples of the following tropes:
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The first arc begins with the murder of Alfred Queely, who accidentally activated the Brass Frog (aka "King Solomon's Frog") and summoned his killer. This sends T'Challa and Abner Little on a quest to find King Solomon's tomb, then further entangles them with Abner's fellow collectors.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: Kiber the Cruel was a scientist carrying out matter teleportation experiments. He used himself a test subject, which is how he gained his powers. [[spoiler:Which also left his real body enlarged, mutated and fused with the floor of his base. The Kiber who interacts with others is just a projection]].
* TimeTravel: The ancient artefact known as King Solomon's Frog is able to summon beings from the past and the future. Dismissing them again is more complicated.
