the Black Panther, getting his first starring feature with issue #5, a reprint of the Panther-centric story in The Avengers #62 (March 1969). A new series followed, written by Don McGregor with art by pencilers Rich Buckler, Gil Kane, and Billy Graham, and which gave inkers Klaus Janson and Bob McLeod some of their first professional exposure. The critically acclaimed series ran in Jungle Action #6-24 (Sept. 1973 - Nov. 1976).

One now-common innovation McGregor pioneered was that of the self-contained, multi-issue story arc. The first, "Panther's Rage", ran through the first 13 issues, initially as 13- to 15-page stories, then, starting with Jungle Action #14, as 18- to 19-page stories, plus a 17-page epilogue. Writer Christopher Priest's 1998 series The Black Panther reutilized Erik Killmonger, Venomm, and other characters introduced in this arc.

Critic Jason Sacks has called the arc "Marvel's first graphic novel":

There were real character arcs in Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four over time. But ... "Panther's Rage" is the first comic that was created from start to finish as a complete novel. Running in two years' issues of Jungle Action (#s 6 through 18), 'Panther's Rage' is a 200-page novel that journeys to the heart of the African nation of Wakanda, a nation ravaged by a revolution against its king, T'Challa, the Black Panther"

The second and final arc, "Panther vs. the Klan", ran as mostly 17-page stories in Jungle Action #19-24 (Jan.-Nov. 1976), except for issue #23, a reprint of the Panther's guest-starring in Daredevil #69 (Oct. 1970). The subject matter of the Ku Klux Klan was considered controversial in the Marvel offices at the time, creating difficulties for the creative team. The arc ended mid-story and Jungle Action folded, with Jack Kirby — newly returned to Marvel after having decamped to rival DC Comics for a time — immediately writing and drawing the shorter-lived and critically unacclaimed Black Panther series, starting January 1977.

Comic: Jungle Action comics 1-4

Originally published by Atlas (V1) The company's second series of this name premiered with an issue cover-dated October 1972 with containing reprints of the same-name Atlas Comics title. Now under the Marvel label. Some critics considered these 1950s "white savior" stories an odd choice during a time of a newly post-colonial Africa and the rise of black power consciousness. "Although as many battles were fought against white hunters as natives," wrote one, "the motivations were different: the hunters (or treasure seekers, or slave traders) were greedy and manipulative. The natives, on the other hand, were greedy and stupid, in need of a white savior. This was the overriding social message of the jungle comics...."

This began to change with an actual African hero, the Black Panther, getting his first starring feature with issue #5
