The author of Marvel's "Black Panther" comic book series has been unmasked: It's Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Coates, until now, is better known for writing incisive articles for The Atlantic magazine that dissect racism and identity in America, and as the author of the best selling book, "Between The World and Me."
