Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #1 marks the first appearance of the future leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the cigar-chomping WWII hero leading the elite special unit of the First Attack Squad (a.k.a. the Howling Commandos). The Commandos were racially and ethnically diverse which made the team a bit unique in the early civil rights era. Jack Kirby created the team and initially pitched the idea to John Severin as a syndicated newspaper strip in the late 1950s, but failed to get any traction with publishers. Espousing the same ideals of diversity that would later make the X-Men a global phenomenon, Kirby first brought his sense of justice to a more-relatable group of characters fighting for American values in the European theatre of WWII, and thus, begat the Howling Commandos.
