The
following list cameo appearances by Nick Fury in order chronological
to Fury's life (well, I've tried at least).
- The
Incredible Hulk #342 (1988)
- The
Incredible Hulk #346 (1988)
Clay Quatermain thinks his career is at an end following his adventures with
the Hulk. Nick Fury shows up to claim his trusted agent, pulling him by the
ear back to S.H.I.E.L.D. (literally).
- Dr.
Strange (2) #1 (1988)
Nick Fury is among the mourners at Dr. Strange's funeral.
- Quasar
#1 (1989)
Fury effectively narrates the origin of Quasar as the issue details his brief
career as a rookie S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Appearances by Woo and Dum Dum makes this
a nice issue for S.H.I.E.L.D. fans if they find it in the quarter box. Note on the
continuity, since Woo and Dugan appear in the issue and S.H.I.E.L.D. is seen to be
in its glory, then despite the 1989 publication date, I've placed it prior
to the events of Nick Fury Vs S.H.I.E.L.D.
- The
Incredible Hulk #339 (1989)
Flashback that ties into the end of Spectacular Spider-Man #112,
where it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. shot dead the mutant Ashcan, in fact Nick Fury arranged
his "death" and placed the troubled child with a foster father.
- Marvel Graphic
Novel: Rick Mason, The Agent (1989)
Nick
Fury in disguise hires Rick Mason to go down south of the border and investigate
a coup. Interestingly, the meeting between Fury and Mason is watched by
an eye-patch wearring spy.
- Marvel
Fanfare #47 "Renovation" (1989)
- Punisher
(1) #29 (1990)
Acts of Vengeance crossover is notable as one of the first guest-shots
for
Nick
Fury
following
the
launch
of
the
new
S.H.I.E.L.D. (two months to be precise). Fury makes it known to the Punisher that he
knows who he is, making this possibly the first meeting between both men in their
present capacities.
- The
Infinity Gauntlet #1-2 (1991) - cover appearance
(#1)
Reprinted in The Infinity Gauntlet TPB
The first two issues feature Nick Fury, once again in the thick of things
doing his best to coordinate relief for the global disasters. The event
provides a great opportunity for penciler George Perez to draw most of
the Marvel universe, including a great intro shot for Nick Fury.
- The Avengers #332 (1991)
The Avengers open a new base and throw a huge bash, among the guests
are Fury (and Wolverine) in a tux!

the U.S. and U.S.S.R. to destroy the mutant. Fury tips off the X-Men various
times throughout the story to prevent disaster.

Fury drops in in the wake of happenings at Muir Island to bring Mystique
and Val Cooper so they can reconcile with Rouge.

stuff.
- Iron Man (1) #282 (1992)
Rhodes plays hardball with
Fury and the 'Howler' appeases,
and offers Rhodey a job no
less; see War Machine #1 for
more.

Fury learns of Stark's "death"; "Guys
like Stark die young--and old
geezers like me are still hangin
around. It just ain't right"
- Excalibur

The Marvel card game and Nick Fury is there.
- Wolverine:
Inner Fury (1992)
Fury gives Wolverine the heads-up on a rouge Hydra scientist who is looking to

as its written by D.G. Chichester.
- Punisher/Captain
America: Blood & Glory #2 (1992)
Fury kills Cap; after all, what are friends for. Look for Dum Dum and
the Contessa.

the scuffle, Nick Fury arrives and brings Deathlok back to the Helicarrier
for repairs. As Ghost Rider rides away Fury remarks "Pretty rude company
you're keepin. Didn't even offer me a light off his head".
- Deathlok
(1) #12 (1992)
Deathlok does S.H.I.E.L.D. a favor and Fury drops by to deliver some news;
Deathlok's wife is pregnant. Later their conversation is interrupted
by overzealous agents who think Fury is in danger.
- Deathlok
(1) 1992 Annual
Pin-up appearance for Fury.

to Fury that everything is fine once again.
- Daredevil #321-322 (1993)
- Captain
America (1) #411 (1993)
Cap
puts in a call to Fury for some info on Snapdragon. Nothing more then
a quick cameo, but the Rick Levins art is great. A rare showing of
Fury in the Mark Gruenwald years.
- Captain
America (1) #414 (1993)
Quick
cameo as Fury shows up in the aftermath of Captain America breaking

interest.

worth getting if you see it cheap.
- X-Men

Its Magneto against the world again, and Nick Fury stands by and looks
somber. Basically a one-panel cameo.

who are bent on going to Genosia. Dugan is seen acting as director and
Fury and Captain America share a tense moment. Good appearance, but brief
- (Marvel
UK) Warheads #3
Fury calls in Iron Man to study a battle glove recovered from the MYS-Tech
Warheads. Basically just a view screen cameo.
