About this Collection

This volume collects the earliest adventures of Nick Fury as the cigar-chomping head of S.H.I.E.L.D., reprinting material from the 1960s that introduced the secret spy organization to Marvel's superhero universe. It features the work of legendary creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, blending Cold War espionage with super-science and setting the stage for Fury's long-running role as Marvel's top agent. Part of Hachette's Ultimate Graphic Novels Collection, this edition presents the formative stories that defined the character for decades to come.

"Hydra Lives!" delivers a pulse-pounding clash of espionage and high-stakes action, spotlighting Nick Fury in a pivotal mission where loyalty is tested and the fate of a city hangs in the balance. Written by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, with dynamic art by Kirby and Jim Steranko, this story blends classic superhero tension with the gritty realism of early SHIELD operations. The cover by Jim Steranko captures the intensity, making this a must-have for fans of the era’s defining creators.
