*War: Captain Savage had been an occasional guest in Sgt Fury and when, in 1968 as Marvel were expanding their line, they sought to capitalise on the success of the Sgt Fury title, they deemed the good captain worthy of his own series. Although short-lived (just 19 issues), with pencils by Dick Ayers and Don Heck, the art was enhanced by the inks of Syd Shores and John Severin. As you might expect, the series featured appearances by Nick and the Howlers, but, less expectedly, Ben Grimm, Baron Strucker and the origin of Hydra, no less. Most of the first 9 issues new in of this interesting backwater of the Marvel Silver Age.
