*Marvel:  Although the ‘modern’ Nick Fury had appeared in Fantastic Four as a CIA Agent, giving readers of Sgt. Fury their first clue that he’d survived World War II (and ‘spoiling’ the rest of the series for them…) the height of the spy craze in 1965 meant that when Nick took over the second slot in Strange Tales, he had his very own acronymic agency in SHIELD, which made its debut in Nick’s second starring series. ‘Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD’ brought the character firmly into the Swingin’ Sixties, with fantastic gadgets, high-stakes melodrama, megalomaniacal villains, and lovely lethal ladies who switched from kissing to killing at the drop of a plot twist. Contrasted with the stunning Lee & Ditko Doctor Strange, this spies & sorcery mishmash delighted the readership. This Good Doctor Collection copy of Strange Tales #135 is a cents copy with an unmarked rich colour cover with residual gloss. There is minor wear at corners and top edge, but nothing really breaks colour. There are a couple of very soft creases in the masthead area. Staples are tight and firm; pages are supple and white to off-white.
