1. I want to do a little micro-reading of this page from Black Panther #53 (the second appearance of the character) as example of Jack Kirby & Stan Lee collaboration.pic.twitter.com/AGXNvlSjH9

Do you think Lee's own politics are part of the blunted dialogue? And, "Begone!" – lol, at Lee's need to Shakespearize so many Marvel characters.
Yeah -- Kirby was an old style New Deal left-liberal & Lee was more centrist. Lee pretty consistently softened Kirby's politics.
Also, is this page from a "Jack Kirby Collector?"
No, from Heritage Auctions. They sell lots of Kirby art & have high-res copies of it, where you can see Kirby's notes on side.
This is just silly. T'Chaka saying "This land is ours" strengthens, not blunts, anti-colonial theme. And "hell" is clearly inappropriate dialogue in a '66 Marvel or DC comic; even Nick Fury would say "heck" in this period, which sounds too colloquial for T'chaka. [1 of 2]
And saying Klaw resembles Melville's Ahab is purely subjective, as Melville never drew Ahab. Changing the character's name so it isn't simply a lift from another source is an obvious improvement. (Whether "Klaw" is a good name is another question.) [2]
Melville didn't draw but there have been numerous illustrated versions & adaptations, which do show Melville's Ahab looking like Kirby's. This is from 1950s movie.pic.twitter.com/xWXC69nw9D
