☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Who Strikes at--- SHIELD?", Nick Fury faces a new threat as a deadly flying egg, disguised as a mystical weapon but rooted in advanced science, targets him once again. With the stakes high, Fury races against time to prevent a nuclear meltdown at a crash site, while battling the egg’s relentless attacks in his Porche 904—surviving flame-throwers, self-forming traps, and a dramatic flip, only to escape using the car’s jet fans. Meanwhile, a new recruit, Jasper Sitwell, struggles to prove his credentials at the SHIELD barber shop, setting the stage for an uneasy alliance as the mystery of the flying eggs deepens. Written by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and H. Purcell, and a striking cover by Herb Trimpe and Marie Severin, this 1971 issue delivers a pulse-pounding blend of Cold War tension and sci-fi spectacle.
In "Who Strikes at--- SHIELD?", Nick Fury faces a chilling infiltration when the psychic villain Mentallo and the enigmatic Fixer breach SHIELD’s defenses using a Thru-The-Ground Tank and a Static Distorter to cut off all communication. With the help of a mind-altering device and a mysterious electronic mask, they turn Fury’s own headquarters against him, plunging the agency into chaos.
In "To Free a Brain Slave," Nick Fury is held captive by Mentallo and The Fixer, who've seized SHIELD HQ and strapped a miniature H-bomb to his wrists. With Fury's mind shielded, the ESP Division can't reach him—until a hidden war song becomes the signal to strike. Tony Stark leads the counterattack with his Neutralizer, while a surprise twist reveals Fury was secretly broadcasting through a Mental Transmitter all along. The battle rages until the baddies are captured, but as the dust settles, a golden egg streaks through the sky—firing down a jet from the Heli-Carrier.
In "The Day of the Druid!", Nick Fury faces a deadly new threat as a flying egg—crafted from modern science masked as mystic rites—targets him, while he races against time to prevent a nuclear meltdown at a crashed jet. With Dugan by his side and their Porche 904 under fire from flame-throwers and self-forming traps, Fury relies on ingenuity and sheer grit to survive the chaos. Back at the SHIELD barber shop, new recruit Jasper Sitwell struggles to convince the skeptical barber of his credentials—just as Fury begins to unravel the mystery behind the eggs.
