Sgt. Fury #103

From the heart of wartime Berlin, this 1972 Marvel issue throws Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos into a desperate, all-or-nothing escape attempt. The cover — penciled by Dick Ayers and Jim Starlin with inks by Frank Giacoia — crackles with urgency as Fury grapples with a Nazi officer in blue uniform while a Commando lays down covering fire and enemy soldiers loom in the background, with Fury's battle cry making clear the stakes: get out or stay "in some blasted coffins." "Berlin Breakout!" promises the kind of hard-charging WWII action that made this series a Marvel staple, brought to life on the page by writer Roy Thomas and artist Dick Ayers.
