Sgt. Fury #97

This April 1972 Marvel war comic delivers a gut-punch of a cover by John Severin, showing soldiers tumbling and fighting across a dramatic rocky clifftop while a desperate figure cries out "Percy! Izzy!" — and a grim inset panel warns that Nick Fury himself lies dying. Titled "...Till the Last Man Shall Fall!", the issue promises the kind of high-stakes battlefield tension that made Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos one of Marvel's most enduring war titles. At just 20 cents, it's a vivid snapshot of the series firing on all cylinders with a full creative team including writer Gary Friedrich, artist Dick Ayers, and colorist Marie Severin.
