*Marvel: The latest entry in our Marvel 1968 feature showcases the grooviness of Jim Steranko (why didn’t he draw more comics?). Having made his mark on the SHIELD strip in Strange Tales, Jaunty Jim Steranko took the brakes off and went all-out when Nick Fury’s Pals n’ Gals got their own full-length series, with cinematic storytelling and psychedelic designs, particularly on the cover and splash pages, that utilised the full potential of the medium with an imagination seldom seen since the heyday of Eisner. Nick Fury #1, “Who Is Scorpio?”, is the definitive example, with the popular espionage tropes of the day turned up to 11, and a striking cover image that still resonates in the fandom psyche half a century later. Our newest Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD #1 is a FN+ pence copy, with beautiful unmarred cover image, on sale at £40. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
