American Update: Steranko’s Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD – Iconic premier issue!
*Marvel: When Marvel’s distribution system expanded in 1968, the ‘double-feature’ books were spun off into their own series, and Jim Steranko, who had been attracting fan attention with his rendition of SHIELD in Strange Tales, took out all the stops with SHIELD’s first ‘solo’ issue, creating an atmospheric cinematic masterpiece which crystallised the height of the Cold War era and the ‘super-spy’ craze prevalent in the Sixties. Topped with perhaps Steranko’s most famous cover image, this beautiful copy is FN+ at £50. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
