Sgt. Fury #88

The cover of this 1971 Marvel entry says it all — Nick Fury leaps into the thick of battle, disarmed but undaunted, while his Howling Commandos clash with enemy soldiers across a chaotic battlefield strewn with jeeps, gunfire, and parachutes. Dick Ayers's cover work captures the desperate energy perfectly, with speech bubbles declaring "This is the Big One!" and the bold banner promising the stakes: save General Patton or blow the whole war. For fans of Marvel's WWII action series, issue #88 delivers that signature combination of grit and camaraderie that made the Howlers a Marvel staple.
