Fury / Agent 13 #2

The cover by penciler Mike Zeck and inker Bob Smith is a kinetic, crowd-filling composition: a one-eyed agent in a blue tactical suit charges forward leveling a futuristic pistol, flanked by a blonde woman in black, a snarling figure in a wide-brimmed hat, soldiers firing submachine guns, and a trumpeter swinging a grenade — the full, chaotic ensemble of the Howling Commandos in action. The cover also teases "The Startling Secret of Nick Fury's Return," adding some genuine intrigue to this July 1998 Marvel two-issue series. Writer Terry Kavanagh and artist Ramon Bernado bring the S.H.I.E.L.D. world to life in a package that feels like a satisfying blend of spy thriller and old-school war-comic energy.
