Review
More
then two decades after it was published, this story still remains one
of the all-time best Nick Fury stories. Steranko skillfully weaves together
a reworked Hound of the Baskerville with elements of WWII (the old Basil
Rathbone movies?) and of course Nick Fury himself. The art is
nothing short of amazing, from beginning to end there is not one panel
that does not stun.
