An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures 7" x 10 1/4" [18 x 26 cm]) (Learn More) Colonel Nicholas Joseph Fury Sr. is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. 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. "Doom Must Fall!", script by Roy Thomas (plot), Frank Springer (plot), and Archie Goodwin (dialogue), art by Frank Springer; Fury is summoned by a condition red priority alert to the "Observatron" chamber; An asteroid is being drawn off-course directly toward Earth, impact only hours away! Fury & Cliff Randall (SHIELD's top ace pilot) race to the projected impact point, the Central Andes, hoping to find whatever is pulling the asteroid from its normal orbit; There, they find a hidden base built inside a mountain, run by a group of other-dimensional beings called "The Others"; Twenty years earlier, the tyrant of their dimension, facing revolt, set off an "Impact Inducer", which would destroy everything; Survivors escaped in a ship when the force of the destruction opened a dimensional doorway to Earth; Knowing it would take twenty years for the "reverberations" to still, they built a base and sent out "prodigals" to gather intelligence about Earth, whose memories were blanked - and it turns out Randall was one of these all along!
