W HEN TA-NEHISI COATES WROTE THE REBOOT OF MARVEL Comics’s Black Panther, literary and comics circles alike awarded it much acclaim; the incredibly popular first issue sold out of its first print run in April 2016. Black Panther was part of a much wider refreshing of the Marvel Comics universe that included another character with a color-plus-animal appellation, Red Wolf. Emerging in the 1970s, Red Wolf’s character appeared in multiple iterations and storylines, all featuring reductive, stereotypical depictions. When he was refreshed in 2015, the promotional material, even as it heralded an “All-New, All-Different” comics universe, unfortunately depicted Red Wolf with no appreciable differences from his 1971 debut. He was still a loincloth-wearing warrior, imagery critiqued by James Leask for inaccurately representing typical attire for the character’s nineteenth-century Cheyenne background. This revamped Red Wolf did not fare much better in the issues themselves. Commentators hoped having Port Gamble S’Klallam artist Jeff Veregge on the illustration team would help the comic better represent Native Americans. Veregge’s striking, Suquamishinspired cover art for the series could not rescue it from dismal sales in its early issues, however, which were low enough to suggest the refreshed Red Wolf would not last long. (The series comprised six issues published between December 2015 and November 2016.) The mediocrity of the reissued Red Wolf, especially in the face of Black Panther’s runaway success, should be instructive for comics creators. For instance, given that Veregge continues to find success both in mainstream comics and as part of the flourishing world of

当 TA-NEHISI COATES 为漫威漫画的《黑豹》重新启动时,文学界和漫画界都给予了一致好评;非常受欢迎的第一期于 2016 年 4 月第一次印刷售罄。黑豹是漫威漫画世界更广泛更新的一部分,其中包括另一个具有颜色加动物名称的角色,红狼。出现在 1970 年代,红狼的角色出现在多次迭代和故事情节中,所有这些都具有还原性和刻板印象。当他在 2015 年焕然一新时,尽管宣传材料预示着“全新、全然不同”的漫画世界,但不幸的是,他描绘的红狼与他 1971 年的处女作没有明显区别。他还是一个缠着缠腰布的战士,James Leask 批评图像不准确地代表了角色 19 世纪夏安背景的典型服装。这辆经过改造的红狼在问题本身上的表现也好不到哪里去。评论员希望 Port Gamble S'Klallam 的艺术家 Jeff Veregge 加入插画团队,这将有助于漫画更好地代表美洲原住民。然而,Veregge 引人注目的、受 Suquamishin 启发的该系列封面艺术无法将其从早期发行的惨淡销售中拯救出来,然而,销售量低到足以表明焕然一新的红狼不会持续太久。(该系列由 2015 年 12 月至 2016 年 11 月出版的六期组成。)重新发行的《红狼》的平庸,尤其是在《黑豹》大获成功的情况下,应该对漫画创作者有所启发。例如,
