Owner's Description
Issue #74 continues the story from Issue #73. When the Avengers are alerted of a string of crimes that are being blamed on the Black Panther. The Sons of the Serpent are using the crimes to fuel racial tensions in the city, by promising to unmask the Panther on national television, and expose his criminal nature, which causes the city to split over the issue of race.
The Avengers, seeking to get to the bottom of things, track down and battle the "Black Panther", who manages to distract the Avengers and escape. While recouping back at Avengers Mansion they soon see on television that the Sons of the Serpent have "captured" Black Panther and are about to unmask him on television. The Avengers rush to the station and battle the Sons of the Serpent. When the real Black Panther is freed, he reveals that the Black Panther "unmasked" by the Serpents was really an impostor.
The masterminds behind the Sons of the Serpent are unmasked and revealed to be Dan Dunn and Montague Hale. It turns out their racism was an act intended to stir up hatred and violence that they could use to gain power.
Our 9.8 is tied for highest graded and was acquired in the 9/6/2011 CL Auction. The population of 9.8s has exploded since we acquired ours, but I would still put ours up against any of them, it’s a stunner.
