Multimedia artist and former N.A.S.A. engineer, Darian Robbins, has introduced T’Challa, King of Wakanda, to the world in the best possible way. The fictional mock-ups below show us that the MCU isn’t far from reality and reinforces the work that everyone at Marvel has done to keep the MCU grounded and relative.

Robbins posted the art on his Twitter page and spoke to Polygon about why he done it.

I chose these covers because I was thinking about how to bridge the gap of fiction to reality to help world building and character introduction…The idea came from the first Iron Man movie when they showed a montage sequence of Tony Stark on various magazine covers.

These illustrations will also help the non-comic fans with the build up to “Captain America: Civil War” next year and the solo Black Panther film in 2018.

Let’s hope the film lives up to the hype that Robbins has gratefully fuelled.
