Tales From My Spinner Rack! Episode 14: WAH-HOO! It's Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos!

Описание: Tales From My Spinner Rack! Episode 14 takes us back to 1963 and Marvel’s very first war comic: Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos!

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created Fury and his team in the second year of the “Marvel Age of Comics.” The gang of seven appeared in between Iron Man (in Tales of Suspense 39) and Doctor Strange (in Strange Tales 110). And while they only lasted eight issues on the title—1 through 7 and 13—Lee and Kirby’s initial run created a memorable group of Marvel Universe characters and a title that lasted—albeit partially as a reprint—for 167 issues. Fury reached its zenith when writer Gary Friedrich and artists Dick Ayers and John Severin took over the title; Ayers drew 95 issues of the title, plus four original annuals, approaching Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four record of 102 issues and 6 annuals!
