''Jungle Action'' is a 1972 comic book from Creator/MarvelComics, the first series to star the Franchise/BlackPanther.

* MyNaymeIs: Venomm spells his name with an extra m; Killmonger's leopard is Preyy with an extra y.

With issue #6, the reprints stopped and the series effectively became a Black Panther solo title, written by Don [=McGregor=] and illustrated by Rich Buckler and Klaus Janson.

* AbortedArc: The Black Panther's struggle with TheKlan and the Dragon Circle is CutShort and Angela Lynne's murder remains unsolved. The final issues of the subsequent ''Black Panther'' series finally reintroduce these plot threads, which eventually get resolved in a ''Marvel Premiere'' story.

* CutShort: The series ends abruptly midway through an arc, with TheKlan plotline and murder mystery unresolved, and T'Challa and Wind Eagle facing each other again on the final page. Fortunately, the 1976 ''Black Panther'' title acts as a SequelSeries and resolves it.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Killmonger is just as murderous as hus name suggests.

* EarlyInstalmentWeirdness: Wakanda, as portrayed in ''Jungle Action'', has vibranium mines but none of the high technology or cities seen in later stories.

The comic was initially a reprint-only title, containing short stories from Marvel's predecessor Atlas Comics - many of which came from the Atlas comic of the same name. However, issue #5 instead reprinted a more modern ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' story guest-starring the Black Panther, and was billed as ''Jungle Action featuring: The Black Panther'' on its cover.

* RightBehindMe: Killmonger's hapless minion Tayete brags about how he's going to beat the Panther when he gets his rematch, only to find that T'Challa's already perched on a rock behind him. His rematch goes predictably badly.

T'Challa, the Black Panther, had previously appeared in other Franchise/MarvelUniverse titles and the ''Jungle Action'', stories begin with his return to his home nation of Wakanda after adventures in America. He immediately finds himself confronted by unrest, fuelled by the actions of new antagonist Killmonger, who would go on to become one of his most prominent enemies.

The first issue was released July 18, 1972. Issue #6, the first Black Panther story, was released June 26, 1973.
