“The Name Is... Bass... Sergeant Bass!”

The cover of this 1980 Marvel issue says it all — a looming drill sergeant in blue towers over a helmeted young soldier crawling through a battlefield erupting in fire and explosions, with the bold promise: "At Last: The Basic Training of Nick Fury!" Dick Ayers and John Severin deliver a striking cover that frames the story as a look back at the origins of Fury's toughness, with that hulking authority figure dominating the composition in an almost mythic way. Writer Gary Friedrich and artist Dick Ayers team up for what looks to be a gritty, boot-camp-flavored chapter in the long-running Sgt. Fury saga.
