Special Marvel Edition #10

This 1973 Marvel reprint showcase puts Sgt. Fury front and center in a dramatic leaping pose — fists raised, ammunition belt across his chest, explosions blazing behind him — while portrait busts of his Howling Commandos surround him: Cpl. Dum-Dum Dugan, Pvt. Gabriel Jones, Pvt. Percival Pinkerton, Pvt. "Rebel" Ralston, Pvt. Izzy Cohen, and Pvt. Dino Manelli. The cover, penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Chic Stone, poses the tantalizing question right on the cover: "Which one of the Howlers deserts under fire… and why?" It's a sharp, energetic package that captures exactly why Fury and his Fightin' Fireballs remained one of Marvel's most compelling war-comics concepts.
