'NYT': We Will Never Write About Comic Books Again
All right, comic book fans: we get it. How many Times corrections can your angry emails prompt?
A report in the "Arts, Briefly" column on Nov. 16 about a new Marvel Comics monthly series featuring the superhero Black Panther misstated his ethnicity and cited a precedent incorrectly. While many of his adventures take place in the United States he is African, not African-American. The first African-American superhero in comics was the Falcon, not Black Panther. A correction in this space on Wednesday misstated the timing of their debuts. Black Panther indeed preceded the Falcon.
