Tales From My Spinner Rack! Episode 14 is now available for your viewing pleasure! This all-new video takes us back 61 years 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—#s 1 through 7 and #13—their 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, and Ayers drew 95 issues of the title, plus four original annuals, approaching Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four record of 102/6!
