In "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.

Tony Stark leads the counterattack with his Neutralizer, while a surprise twist reveals Fury was secretly broadcasting through a Mental Transmitter all along.
