“Race Against Time” (k015)

“Race Against Time” is a 17-page story by Jack Kirby from BLACK PANTHER #3 [1977], inked and lettered by Mike Royer.

The mystery of King Solomon’s time traveling brass frog finally brings T’Challa and Abner Little, accompanied by Princess Zanda, to King Solomon’s Tomb, where they have to contend with the guardian of the tomb to return the futuristic Hatch 22 to his own time.

Kirby’s year-long run on BLACK PANTHER is always frantic and imaginative, maybe a little absurd but with a certain charm in the absurdity. And most of them have been reprinted at least three times, which isn’t something I’d have thought was likely a decade ago.
