Blending together influences from Pop art to Salvador Dali and across comics' history from Will Eisner to Wally Wood, Steranko's boundary-breaking style is an incomparable visual language that influences and inspires storytellers decades later. Chock full of high-stakes espionage and larger-than-life villains, from Baron Strucker and his Hydra hordes to the Yellow Claw and the horrific Hell Hound of Ravenlock, each adventure will have you on the edge of your seat.
Topped with guest appearances from Captain America and the Fantastic Four-not to mention from out of the Atlas Era, the Marvel debut of agent Jimmy Woo-Steranko's S.H.I.E.L.D. is an uncontested high-water mark that every devotee of the medium must experience.

The MARVEL MASTERWORKS are proud to present the continuing adventures of Col. Nick Fury in the Swinging Sixties!
The irascible Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s series was a truly innovative lightning-in-a-bottle merger of comics and the spy craze of the day, and where better to start our collection than with a Nick Fury origin issue housed inside an iconic Jim Steranko cover? Next up: Steranko's last S.H.I.E.L.D. epic, "Whatever Happened to Scorpio?," will dazzle you before we launch into a new era of adventures including a moon-busting space mission, a mind-bending trip Fury may never come back from and a sub-earth battle with Supremus!
Then, Nick Fury faces one of his oldest enemies in the Hate-Monger (a.k.a. Adolf Hitler); the British invade as Steve Parkhouse and Barry Windsor-Smith offer the one-shot "Hell Hath No Fury;" and Hydra returns with its sights set on assassinating the S.H.I.E.L.D. director. It's a cliffhanger that will shock and surprise you!
Also packed with cool covers from the Colonel's many S.H.I.E.L.D. reprint comics, and his appearance from MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #31, this Masterworks completes every fan's classic Nick Fury library!
Hardcover, 296 pages, full color.
