About the series
From 1973 onward, Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and Jim Steranko defined the espionage-and-super-science world of Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D., with Nick Fury leading a covert team that included Dum Dum Dugan, Jasper Sitwell, and Gabe Jones against the machinations of Wolfgang von Strucker's Hydra. This five-issue series, illustrated by Kirby, Steranko, and John Buscema, distilled the agency's Cold War-era intrigue into a taut, action-packed run that cemented the organization's place in Marvel lore.
