Created by writer and artist Jack Kirby and writer Stan Lee, Fury first appeared in Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos in 1963, but then, in 1965, the character was transformed by artist Jim Steranko into a spy (like James Bond) and leading agent of the fictional espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., and beginning in 1968, he appeared in his own comic "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." The character has appeared in TV shows and the Avengers movies (played by Samuel L. Jackson)! Artist: Jim Steranko Important Added Info: Contents: Cover by Jim Steranko. "What Ever Happened To Scorpio?", script by Jim Steranko, pencils by Jim Steranko, inks by John Tartaglione; Val reads Nick's horoscope in the morning paper, which says "Someone in your past will return today"; Nick pays a visit on Pickman, who's helping him locate someone, and he doesn't want SHIELD involved; The ESP Division picks up "possible danger", sending Nick to a seemingly-deserted warehouse - and straight into a trap set by Scorpio!; Nick's Farrari is destroyed, and Nick is captured; While unconscious, Scorpio creates a face-mask to allow him to impersonate Nick, then goes in disguise to view the test of the latest model of LMD; But as it begins, no one else realizes the robot has been replaced with Nick, drugged so he can't speak!; Miraculously, Fury manages to dodge one death trap after another, then faces his would-be killer; Val, trying to save Nick's life, shoots at the "LMD" - but hits Pickman instead, who found his way in via a secret passage.

Please note that we don't use a "comic guide" grading system, and OUR grading scale is completely different from standard comic book grading. Our "very good" is completely different from a comic book graded "very good". We provide images of the comic book covers, plus 2 interior 2-page spreads, which should allow you to get a sense of the condition of this comic book. This is one of an excellent collection of 138 vintage comic books we were consigned, which we are auctioning in 138 separate auctions. NONE of these comics have any restoration (unless noted in our condition description) and all of them came from a small group of collectors who purchased them mostly when they were first published, and none have been "slabbed" or "graded"!

This is the kind of buying opportunity every comic book collector dreams of, and when these auctions close on January 16, every one of these comics will have a new owner! Condition: very good.
