This hardcover collection gathers Black Panther stories from Marvel's 1988 run. The opening section is a political thriller miniseries written by Peter Gillis and drawn by Denys Cowan. It follows T'Challa, now ruling Wakanda, as he questions his place as an African hero while an apartheid regime sits on his border.

The second story, Panther's Quest, comes from Don McGregor, who created the character's first series. T'Challa learns that the mother he never knew might still be alive, and he goes to extreme lengths to rescue her, crossing into South Africa and fighting both mercenaries and military forces. Gene Colan and Tom Palmer provide the art.

The volume also reprints issues 1 through 4 of the 1988 Black Panther series and issues 13 through 37 of Marvel Comics Presents.
