Here is a bronze age page by the King. I like Mike's inks on Kirby because he did great blacks and was very true to the pencils with less of his own personality added to the work. Sinnot and Everett would be my favorite of Kirby's inkers but Royer was a favorite in this era.
This page was the third piece in a bigger trade deal. It was added to even out balance between values on the bigger items to make the whole thing come together. It is nice get a Kirby as a throw in on a deal!
It is a pretty great page with Kirby getting the writing credits in addition to pencils. The description from marvel.fandom.com is below and this page has 3 panels devoted to both subplots. There is Kirby krackle, action lines and sound effects that bring this page to life. From what I recall this ties in with the story in the Marvel movie but I will leave that to the experts, I only saw the movie once when it first came out.
Plot description for this issue:
T'Challa is on his way back to Wakanda to stop the revolution perpetuated by his half-brother, Jakarra. Along his flight path, he notices two men swimming away from a capsized boat. He rescues the men and takes them on board. Moments later, he discovers that one of them is Nicky Scarpo, a gangster from the United States. Nicky and his henchman, Herman, attempt to seize control of the Panther's plane, but T'Challa sends it into a tailspin throwing the gangsters off their feet. One of them fires a bullet, which inadvertently ruptures a fuel line. The airplane crashes just off the African coast. Nicky Scarpo is rendered unconscious and his lieutenant dies in the crash. The Black Panther pulls him away from the wreckage.
Meanwhile in Wakanda, Jakarra has mutated into a large, hideous monster as a result of exposure to radiation from the Vibranium mound. He cuts a bloody swathe of destruction until he reaches the royal chambers of Wakanda's presiding government council. T'Challa's family has arrived to lend aid to acting regent, N'Gassi. Jakarra tries to kill them, but the Wakanda security forces arrive and drives him off.
