Marvel celebrates Nick Fury in new anniversary one-shot

This May, Al Ewing and an all-star lineup of artist craft a thrilling saga across Nick Fury’s storied history in a double-sized anniversary one-shot!

Press Release

Marvel Comics has revealed Nick Fury is getting the anniversary treatment with Fury #1, out May 24th. Written by Al Ewing, the one-shot will feature artists Scott Eaton, Tom Reilly, Adam Kubert, and Ramon Rosanas.

“Nick Fury is an entire history of comics in one character,” Ewing said. “Shifting from a tough-talking WWII Sergeant specializing in impossible missions, to an U.N.C.L.E.-esque secret agent beating James Bond at his own game, to a machiavellian man in the shadows making the grey moral choices we’ve come to associate with the evolving espionage genre.”

So what’s Fury about?

A glamorous rogue agent with a deadly secret lures Nick Fury into the action-thriller of a lifetime…HIS FATHER’S! Following the trail opens NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN FURY FILES from the Howlin’ ’40s…the Swingin’ ’60s…and today! But it takes more than ONE Nick Fury to unlock a mystery decades in the making – and to answer the question…WHO IS S.C.O.R.P.I.O.?

Ewing continued, “And when the original Fury went cosmic, his son followed in those same footsteps, doing all that with a modern spin and an eye on the silver screen portrayal of our favorite sci-fi spy-guy. So how to celebrate sixty years of Nick Fury? With 40 story pages of twists, turns, action, gadgets and old-school thrills – pitting the Fury family against a new menace with a mysterious connection to the earliest days of the Howling Commandos and setting both Nicks up for the adventures of a lifetime! Don’t yield, true believer – back S.H.I.E.L.D.!”
