Sgt. Fury #7

The stakes couldn't be higher in this 1964 Marvel wartime drama — the cover, penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by George Roussos, throws us straight into a courtroom brawl, with Military Police struggling to restrain a defiant Nick Fury as soldiers and officers crowd the room, explosions visible through the window behind them. The cover copy warns that a guilty verdict means the firing squad, framing "The Court-Martial of Sergeant Fury" as a "movie-length war epic" — an ambitious promise that Marvel was clearly proud to stand behind. Stan Lee and Kirby were pushing the war genre into genuinely dramatic territory here, and this issue stands as a vivid snapshot of Marvel's early 1960s confidence.
