Avengers #62 🔑

1st Appearance - M'Baku the Man Ape

Avengers Vol. 1 #62, published in March 1969, is a major Silver Age key issue featuring the first appearance of M’Baku, also known as Man-Ape—one of Black Panther’s primary adversaries and a warrior from Wakanda’s White Gorilla cult. M’Baku challenges T’Challa’s rule and sets the stage for a deep and enduring rivalry that continues across Marvel comics and the MCU.

Set in Wakanda, this issue is action-packed and rich with cultural and political tension as the Avengers arrive to aid Black Panther, only to be caught in a battle for the throne. M’Baku’s debut would go on to become central in Black Panther’s lore, and he later became a recurring character in the MCU (portrayed by Winston Duke).

Written by Roy Thomas with art by John Buscema, this issue is essential for Black Panther fans and collectors of Marvel’s Wakandan mythology.
