Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD #5

In "Whatever Happened to Scorpio?", Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD, is drawn into a deadly game when the ESP Division detects a threat—only to find himself ensnared by Scorpio’s cunning trap. Written and illustrated by Jim Steranko, with inks by John Tartag, colors by Steranko, and lettering by Sam Rosen, this 1968 issue delivers a tense, visually striking thriller where Fury battles a series of life-or-death traps and confronts a masked assailant whose identity is revealed in a shocking moment—before a barrage of gunfire brings the chase to a sudden halt. Cover by Jim Steranko, the issue closes with Fury alone on a dock, staring into the distance, haunted by the mystery of his would-be killer’s fate.
