Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #142

Even on furlough, the Howling Commandos can't stay out of trouble — the cover by Dick Ayers and John Severin puts a shirtless, ferocious Sgt. Fury astride a motorcycle as he and his green-clad Howlers crash headlong into a squad of gray-uniformed enemy soldiers, rifles and bodies scattering in every direction. The story is titled "Tea and Sabotage," and Marvel's own cover copy promises a "battle-mag blockbuster" when the Howlers go on furlough — which, judging by the chaos on display, looks anything but restful. This September 1977 issue delivers the kind of kinetic, all-out brawl that made Sgt. Fury a reliable source of WWII comic thrills.
