Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Classic

In 2012, Marvel revived the classic espionage flavor of its original 1960s Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. series for a three-issue run. Written by D. G. Chichester and illustrated by a veteran team including Bob Hall, Ernie Stiner, and Herb Trimpe, this short-lived reprint and new-story collection paid homage to the Cold War-era, high-tech spy adventures that defined the character. It's a compact, nostalgia-driven glimpse into the pre-superhero espionage roots of the Marvel Universe, spotlighting the old-school, cigar-chomping Fury before his modern reinvention.
