Black Panther: World of Wakanda is a comic book series and a spin-off from the Marvel Comics Black Panther title.[1][2] It published six issues before being canceled. The series was primarily written by Roxane Gay, with poet Yona Harvey contributing a story to the first issue.[3] Alitha E. Martinez drew the majority of the art for the series, for which Afua Richardson contributed cover art to the first five issues, as well as art for a short story in the first issue. Gay and Harvey became the first two black women to author a series for Marvel;[3] counting Martinez and Richardson, upon its debut the series itself was helmed entirely by black women.[4] Ta-Nehisi Coates served as a consultant for the series.
Black Panther: World of Wakanda won a 2018 Eisner Award for Best Limited Series.[5] The series also won a 2018 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book.[6]
