Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #135

This 1976 Marvel war book drops Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos into a fierce firefight set against what appears to be ancient Greek ruins — and the cover by Dick Ayers and John Tartaglione puts the action front and center, with a gritted-teeth Fury blasting away with a submachine gun while enemy soldiers close in from every direction. A dark-coated figure lurks menacingly in the foreground as muzzle flashes and explosions light up the scene, perfectly capturing the promise of "The Grandeur That Was Greece!" Roy Thomas brings his storytelling craft to a squad that always delivers the goods when bullets start flying.
