TRADE PAPERBACKS THE ILIAD GN - TPB Written by ROY THOMAS (based on the epic poem BY HOMER) Penciled by MIGUEL ANGEL SEPULVEDA Cover by PAOLO RIVERA Whether its author was truly a blind poet named Homer, who also composed The Odyssey...or whether the epic poem grew over a period of several centuries, added to by many men and perhaps women... is not known. And probably never will be. Yet it remains, after many centuries, one of the greatest war stories—no, one of the greatest stories—in all of literature. A tale of war between the Achaeans (Greeks) and the besieged Trojans over the fate of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world...a test of wills between the fabled warrior Achilles and the war chief Agamemnon... with a climactic battle between Achilles and Hector, the foremost defender of Troy. A saga of gods and men, each possessed of grand desires...and all too human failings. The Iliad is both a whirl of scarlet action—and of the equally violent emotions that rule mankind.

Today, T’Challa is the latest in this famed family line, the great hero known worldwide as the Black Panther. Despite the futile defeats of the past, outsiders are once more assembling to invade Wakanda and plunder its riches. Leading this brutal assault is Klaw, a deadly assassin with the blood of T’Challa’s murdered father on his hands. Klaw brings with him a powerful army of super-powered mercenaries, all hell-bent on raining death and destruction on this pristine land. Even with Wakanda’s might and his own superhuman skills, can the Black Panther prevail against such a massive invading force?
