Organization

Man, Basique, you're doing some nice work fleshing out this article!

I'm thinking it might be good to organize each section somehow, to make things easier to look up and access. What do you think of alphabetical order? Or would chronological by first appearance be better (albeit more research-intensive)? -- Tenebrae 18:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh heh, I think right now for sanity's sake I'll go alphabetical until I can get more date information. One question though, is there a definate in canon version of Black Panther's grandfather? I found two different references that both appear to be in continuity one to "Azzari the Wise" and one to "Chanda". -- Basique 18:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Australian Panther

User:Bellkins your Australian "Panther" is white, you may build a page for him elsewhere but do not insert him into this one. The Australian Panther was neither black nor African. I see you've been vandalizing the Black Panther page as well, you've been very very naughty. --Basique 14:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with Basique. -- Tenebrae 14:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References

It can be done in reference style, it's just going to be a royal pain to do so. --Basique 12:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Were is the phantom? He is the most famous African comic charachter and he isnt even mentioned and of course should Guran be named too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.11.240.74 (talk) 19:35, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with some phrasing:

I don't understand this phrasing:

"It wasn't until Waku, Prince of the Bantu [3][4] in the omnibus Jungle Tales from Marvel Comics' 1950s predecessor Atlas Comics, that mainstream comic books depicted an African character as a strong, independent hero. Waku was an African chieftain in a feature with no regularly featured Caucasian characters. The first African-American title character of a comic book series was the titular star of the Western comic book Lobo (Dell Comics, two issues, 1965-1966). The first known Black superhero in American comic books is Marvel's the Black Panther, an African who first appeared in Fantastic Four vol. 1, #52 (July 1966). The first major African female character was Storm."

How can Black Panther be the "first known Black superhero in American comic books" if his appearance was in 1966, when the sentence right before it states that Atlas Comics had Waku, Prince of the Bantu in the 1950's, and Dell comics had Lobo in 1965? (Both Atlas and Dell were American comic book companies).

Add Batwing

I'm very bad at editing, so i'm asking if someone could add Batwing to these page under DC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batwing_%28DC_Comics%29 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.33.161.74 (talk) 21:10, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
