1st app. of Sgt. Nick Fury, Corporal "Dum Dum" Dugan, the Howlers and Captain "Happy Sam" Sawyer; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 9 (CBI)Colonel Nick Fury is best known as the tough, cigar-chomping leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. but he got his start way back in World War II as the Sergeant that led the elite special unit, 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.The first issue of Jack Kirby’s beloved WWII comic, Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos, has slowly but surely become a very desirable and valuable key from Marvel’s Silver Age. Fans of a certain vintage will recall reading about the exploits of the multicultural troop of grizzled soldiers as they battled the Nazis and Axis forces over the years, and affection for this scrappy title has only grown thanks to the MCU and Samuel L. Jackson’s portrayal of Nick Fury. High-grade copies of this comic are very hard to find, so this 8.5 should be a popular lot at auction. The construction is rock solid and the colors are strong, as the value of this issue continues to explode over the past few years, this should be considered a very sound investment book.
