In The Transmedia Construction of the Black Panther: Long Live the
King, Bryan J. Carr explores and analyzes the evolution of the
Black Panther character since his inception in the 1960s across
comics, film, television, video games, and music. The Black
Panther, Carr argues, is the sum of the creative works of countless
individuals across various media that have each contributed to the
legacy of the first mainstream Black superhero, all happening
against a backdrop of social and cultural upheaval, global
political struggle for equality, and the long shadow of colonizing
Western attitudes. The Panther's existence is a complex one that
not only illustrates in microcosm those same struggles in the
historically white superhero space, but also offers a perfect case
study for media trends of representation then and now. Carr
addresses a number of questions: Does the Black Panther really
represent a powerful counter-narrative to long-standing regressive
attitudes toward Black identity and Africa? Who were the key
contributors to our understanding of the character? And finally,
how can we use the character to understand the complexities of our
modern consolidated media systems? Scholars of media studies, film
and television studies, comics studies, cultural studies, critical
race studies, and African studies will find this book particularly
useful.
