Beautiful copy of Nick Fury, Agent of S. Classic, psychedelic cover by Steranko. 1ST APPEARANCE OF SCORPIO. (20-page story) – Fury sneaks into an island fortress, only to get shot in the back. It’s an LMD, and the shooter is the real Fury! But on examination, Dugan informs Fury the LMD’s been shot four times, not three– which means, someone tried to assassinate him! The only clue is a tiny badge with a Scorpio symbol on it. In San Francisco, comic Flip Mason’s on the run from gambling debts. In Kansas City, racketeer Mitch Hackett looks forward to joining the mob. In New York City, Fury and Val walk in the rain. At the Monza Autodrome, Count Julio Scarlotti wins a race– and we see he has a Scorpio tattoo on his wrist. Days later in Nevada, Fury helps test an “EPB G-System” (Entrope Phase Barrier Guard System), a force field which is hoped may one day protect entire armies. As SHIELD prepares one final test (with an H-Bomb) we see the tech firing the missile has a Scorpio tattoo on his wrist. Fury suddenly realizes the EPB’s down, and nobody answers his comm. He races across the desert to a rocket sled used by NASA to escape as the missile descends on the spot he was relaxing. Government Research Center in Las Vegas, everyone’s been put to sleep with gas by Scorpio — when Fury arrives via motorcycle! As the hooded villain speaks of vengeance and “The Parable Of Doom”, Fury wonders who the hell this guy is? Mason takes it, thinking all his problems are gone! Hackett arrives wondering where his suitcase is (not realizing it actually contains a time-bomb), and a gunfight erupts. The two fights intersect paths, and Hackett winds up shooting Scorpio’s escape craft, causing it to go up in an explosive fireball, of which Val says, No one could live through that! As Mason is about to call his wife, the bomb goes off. All items will be packaged safely and secure to prevent any damage during transit. All items come from a smoke and sunlight free environment.
