Sgt. Fury #51

Issue #51 of Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos swaps the battlefield for the streets, promising something genuinely different: the Howlers out of uniform, teaming with a secret service in pursuit of "The Assassin!" The cover — penciled by Dick Ayers and inked by John Severin — drops you right into a tense urban firefight, with two civilian-clothed agents crouching in the foreground, blazing away with pistol and submachine gun while a chaotic gun battle erupts across a courtyard packed with combatants. For fans of Marvel's 1968 war comics, this one stands out as a change of pace with plenty of hard-edged action to back it up.
