Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ #1 sells more than 250,000 copies
The first issue from Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze’s run on Black Panther sold an incredible 250,000 copies. Hot damn! How is this for a debut issue, sales wise? Tremendous. This also explains why I could not find a copy of the issue anywhere.
