Hudlin and Cowan on Captain America/Black Panther
Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers comes to us from Black Pantherwriter/multi-media talent Reginald Hudlin and writer/artist Denys Cowan. The mini series focuses on Cap, and some other familiar faces who ran into the Black Panther of the 1940s during World War II
Here’s a few excerpts”
NRAMA: As creators, what is the appeal of the World War II era? And what’s it like to handle Captain America in that specific setting?
Hudlin:World War Two is when Black Panther and Captain America met. It’s also a rich era, with characters like Nick Fury and the Howling Commandoes, the Red Skull, Baron Strucker, and other more obscure but interesting characters.
Captain America is still the noble man he was before he took the super soldier serum, but he’s green. He’s still rocking the triangle shield. That’s a fun period in his life to explore.
NRAMA: With Black Panther, he’s been established as a generational character. Which Black Panther will we be seeing here, and how would the protector of Wakanda react to Cap and Nick Fury at that point in history?
Hudlin:Azzuri the Wise is the Black Panther, who is T’Chaka’s father, T’Challa’s grandfather. We’ve seen him before in my first run of BLACK PANTHER where he defeats the Sub-Mariner in combat, then schools him to the future implications of WW2. There’s a reason why he’s called “the Wise”.
Azzuri sees a lot of promise in Steve Rogers. It’s tough love, but he wants to help him. As for Nick, Azzuri sees the war hero he is and the cold war spy he’s going to be…and treats him accordingly.
