“Final Encounter!”

"Final Encounter!" is a pulse-pounding climax in the ongoing war between Nick Fury and the sinister Baron Strucker, written and illustrated by the legendary Jim Steranko in a masterclass of visual storytelling. With the fate of Hydra Island hanging in the balance, a shocking twist reveals a double identity that turns the tide in a final, explosive confrontation. The cover by Marie Severin and Herb Trimpe captures the chaos perfectly, making this 12-cent 1967 issue a standout in Marvel's early espionage saga.

The battle between Fury & Strucker rages until Fury manages to remove his Satan glove. Minutes later, as HYDRA thugs enter the room, they discover 2 Strucker's! One of them is revealed to be wearing a mask, panics, and is incinerated in an Alpha-Particle Reactor Cube. The other orders Laura put aboard the Dyna-Soar and takes off from Hydra Island, despite the imminent detonation of The Death Spore bomb. Fury had used Strucker's device to disguise himself and Strucker. It detonates, and thanks to the impenetrable dome, only Hydra Island and all within are wiped off the face of the Earth!
