''The Black Panther'' ((アフリカーンス語:Die Swart Luiperd)) is a South African series of pulp novels featuring Leon Fouché, an adventurer resembling Lee Falk's ''The Phantom''. The novels, published by Pronk,〔("Vintage Afrikaans pulp novels" ), Say Books, retrieved 3 August 2014.〕 were written first by Abraham le Roux Botha using the pen name Braam le Roux,〔 and following his death in 1958 by F.A. Venter using the pen name Meiring Fouché.〔Meiring Fouché (pseud.), ''Die Swart-Luiperd-reeks'', Johannesburg: 1958–62, . In addition to Meiring Fouché, Venter also wrote popular fiction under the pen names Elske te Water, René Stegmann and Marius de Jongh: John Christoffel Kannemeyer, ''Geskiedenis van die Afrikaanse literatuur'', 2 vols., Volume 2, 2nd ed. Pretoria: Academica, 1984, ISBN 9780868741758, (p. 50 ) .〕 The series ran from approximately 1948 to 1963. Leon Fouché is the Black Panther. He travels far afield seeking adventure on his horse, Ou Donker (Old Darkie), with his two panthers, Simson and Spikkel.〔Sean O'Toole, ("The evolution of African pulp fiction" ), Books, ''Mail & Guardian'', 7 December 2012.〕 He uses no firearms, only his hunting knife and bow and arrow. His wife, Sonet, and his son, Bennie, accompany him later in the series. He has been compared to Lee Falk's ''The Phantom'',〔 but also, together with another contemporary hero of Afrikaans pulp fiction, Rooi Jan, with Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan.〔Maritha Snyman, ("Afrikaans youth series books: exhibition of societal change" ), ''Innovation'' 28.1 (2004) 9–16 (pdf, subscription required).〕 Leon's mother died early, right before the First Boer War, when the Basutos attacked some remote farms. Since then, Leon's father has lived as an adventurer. Together they have become drawn in by the unknown, ever deeper into the Transvaal. Some things in the story don't make sense. Simson and Spikkels are sometimes described as cheetahs and sometimes as panthers, or as tigers.〔 There are also inconsistencies in the timeline. An unrelated photo comic by the same title appeared later; its primary hero, Baron Rolf du Plessis, wears a panther mask.〔 ==Books in the Black Panther series written by Braam le Roux== #''Gemaskerde moordenaars'' (Masked Murderers) #''Die Mensvreters van Tsawo'' (The Maneaters of Tsawo) #''Kamerade van die draak'' (Comrades of the Dragon) #''Die Kruipende Dood'' (The Creeping Death) #''Die Eiland van die Blou Duiwels'' (The Island of the Blue Devils) #''Pyle van vuur'' (Arrows of Fire) #''Die Galg in die Oerwoud'' (The Gallows in the Jungle) #''Die mense van die Meer'' (The Lake People) #''Die rooi maskers'' (The Red Masks) #''Die Bloedboodskap'' (The Blood Message) #''Kloue van die Valk'' (The Falcon's Claws) #''Skedels in die sand'' (Skulls in the Sand) #''Die dood kom stil'' (Death Comes Quietly) #''Man Sonder Kop'' (Man Without a Head) #''Die Songod Praat'' (The Sun God Speaks) #''Pad van die Arend'' (The Path of the Eagle) #''Die Duiwel is ‘n Vrou'' (The Devil is a Woman) #''Geheim van die Wit Heks'' (Secret of the White Witch) #''Gees uit die vuur'' (Spirit of the Fire) #''Waar die Dooies Leef'' (Where the Dead Live) #''Dans van die Dood'' (Dance of Death) #''Bloedfees van die Ape'' (Blood Feast of the Apes) #''Wraak van die Gorillas'' (Revenge of the Gorillas) #''Vallei van Gedrogte'' (Valley of Monsters) #''Rooi is die Waters'' (Red are the Waters) #''Fees van die kopbeen'' (Feast of the Skull) #''Die Watermonster Brul'' (The Water Monster Roars) #''Geheim van die Berge'' (The Secret of the Mountains) #''Newels van Verraad'' (Mists of Betrayal) #''Bloed op die Maan'' (Blood on the Moon) #''Die laaste kreet'' (The Last Cry) #''Die groot voeël sterf'' (The Great Bird Dies) #''Geheim van die groen hel'' (The Secret of the Green Hell) #''Spoor na die onbekende'' (Tracks into the Unknown) #''Manne van die Maan'' (Men from the Moon) #''Draer van die bloedstene'' (Wearers of the Blood Stones) #''Die gorillas kom'' (The Gorillas are coming) #''Tiere van die Heilige Woud'' (Tigers of the Sacred Forest) #''Vegters van die Slanggod'' (Warriors of the Serpent God) #''Goud en assegaaie'' (Gold and Spears) #''Die jagters van Bloedeiland'' (The Hunters of Blood Island) #''Kettings in die oerwoud'' (Chains in the Jungle) #''Oog van die Songod'' (Eye of the Sungod) #''Wraak van die woud'' (Revenge of the Forest) #''Bloed van die Maagd'' (Blood of the Virgin) #''Die Reus van Boendoe'' (The Giant of Boendoe) #''Vlamme van Verraad'' (Flames of Betrayal) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Die Swart Luiperd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
