FACE FRONT, FURY FANS! IT’S A FOURTH FRANTIC VOLUME OF CLASSIC WWII TALES!

All right, ya goldbricks! Stand at attention and salute the good Sgt. Fury and his latest cache of World War II adventures – brought to you by none other than the Marvel Masterworks!

Your mission includes action on the Greek front, covert operations inside Berlin, incursions into Rommel’s North African territory, and a rendezvous with the French resistance – and that’s just to shake the dust off.

You’ll also read the origin of the Howling Commandos, be introduced to a new member of the group – ex-Nazi Eric Koenig – and face-off with Col. Klaue’s crack Blitzkrieg Squad.

It’s war action in the mighty Marvel manner, so report for duty as requested or it’ll be permanent K.P. duty. Dismissed!

A HOWLIN’, HIGH-CALIBER HOWITZER OF A MASTERWORKS!

Report for duty! It’s time for another Marvel Masterworks mission with Sgt. Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos!

It’s all-out action against the Axis powers, done in the Mighty Marvel Method as Fury and the Howlers protect the Manhattan Project and the atom bomb against Nazi spies and saboteurs; uproot an undercover agent who is none other than Red Skull; confront a traitor in their own ranks; and go mano-a-mano with Baron Strucker in a knock-down, drag-out battle in war-torn France.

You’ll also see revealed – for the first time – the origin of Nick Fury’s eye-patch, follow Dum Dum Dugan as he goes it alone behind enemy lines, and experience the Allied push when Operation Overlord comes together on D-Day!

Illustrated by the fightin’ man’s penciller, Dick Ayers, and scripted by Stan “The Man” and his armed-forces heir apparent, Roy Thomas, it’s an all-out classic. Reserve your copy today or it’s gonna be K.P. duty for you!

IT’S BACK TO THE FRONT WITH SGT. FURY MASTERWORKS!

Get off your duffs, ya goldbricks…and get ready for another k-ration of the adventures of Sgt. Nick Fury and His Howling Commandos! From the heart of the Marvel Age, Stan Lee and Darlin’ Dick Ayers bring you an assortment of WWII adventures that define the “War comic for people who hate war comics!” That means it’s for you and everybody else, bunky!

Fury and his crack squadron tackle the Axis powers across both the European and Pacific theatres – over land and under sea, from the scorching sands of North Africa to the darkest jungles of Burma, there’s no order too tall for the Howlers!

They’ll square off against Baron Strucker and his cadre of Nazi commandos, the Blitzkrieg Squad; they’ll meet the young Hans Rooten for the first time; and before you finish turning these pages one will fall in the line of duty, forever changing the life of Nick Fury.

To top it off, we’re including the first Sgt. Fury Annual featuring a rare adventure of the Howlers in the Korean War and the story of Fury’s promotion to Second Looie!
