1965-1966

Never actually seeing the print pages of Marvel Comics, the concept for Black Panther started with a Jack Kirby sketch in 1965. He called the character The Coal Tiger. A bold yellow and gray design never made it past the concept stage, but in 1966, as Black Panther continued to move forward in the development process, he got a black suit with gray accessories, and notably a mask with ears. Coincidentally or not, the idea for the mask with ears popped up the same year the Batman TV show became a smash hit. When Black Panther was finally slated to appear in Fantastic Four #52, at the last minute, Stan Lee instructed inker Joe Sinnott to fill in the mask with black. Nobody knows exactly why, but it was months before artist Jack Kirby found out.

1967-1998

When it came time for Black Panther to team-up with Captain America in the pages of Tales of Suspense, Jack Kirby adjusted the costume by removing the cape and collar. This look debuted in Fantastic Four Annual #5. In 1968, Black Panther joined the Avengers with a half-mask for the first four issues. Marvel artists alternated between the “original” and “classic” look for decades until the launch of a new solo series under the Marvel Knights imprint. Artist Mark Texeira introduced gold accessories that added a contrasting color in 1998.

1999-2003

After the first twelve issues, the new series moved from the Marvel Knights imprint to the Marvel Universe proper. New series artist Sal Velluto drew the gold accessories in a sharper and more tooth-like style. The cape often disappeared and reappeared at random, remaining absent for longer and longer stretches at a time. By the end of Velluto’s run, no cape had essentially become the default look. In 2003, T’Challa rejoined the Avengers in Avengers #66. Series artist Olivier Coipel brought back the lines on the gloves and boots, as well as the cape, while keeping the gold accessories and adding a panther head pendant.

2005-2013

In 2005, Black Panther was relaunched with a new #1 and a new creative team. Series artist John Romita, Jr. drew him in a throwback to his original costume, but with two straps instead of one for a more symmetrical look. In 2010, Black Panther took on new duties in Black Panther: Man Without Fear. Daredevil asked a depowered T’Challa to replace him as the guardian of Hell’s Kitchen. Artist Francesco Francavilla drew him with a new armored outfit to match the new role. In 2013, Daredevil returned, and Black Panther went back to his classic role and with it a variation of his “classic” costume. This time it included a toothy necklace similar to the “post-Knight” era, but in silver instead of gold.

2016-2018

To mark Black Panther’s sixth #1 issue in 2016, his costume was given a slight update. Series artist Brian Stelfreeze made the necklace look less tooth-like, and drew a mask that was more cat-like. Also in 2016, T’Challa made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: Civil War. The movie’s costume concept by Judianna Makovsky and Ryan Mynderding was similar in appearance to the “Marvel NOW” oufit, but with more silver accessories and with intricate textures on the black bodysuit. Of course, the Black Panther standalone movie followed in 2018, and costume designer Ruth E. Carter added more silver accessories and simplified the textures on the bodysuit.
