Nick Fury Gallery

While not exactly the best image of Fury, this does seem to be one of the rarer images I've come across - it's from Marvel's OverPower card game and is one of the "Special Mission" cards. But if you ask me, it looks like Cyclops with an eyepatch instead of a ruby quartz visor.

Nick's latest story arc in the Marvel Universe is the "Secret War" mini-series written by Brian Michael Bendis and painted by Gabrielle Dell'Otto. While not always consistent, the art at times is simply awesome. Case in point - this sharp image of Nick walking outside the White House after a briefing with the President. This is SO Nick Fury it gave me goose-bumps.

Another awesome picture from "Secret War", the Colonel brooding in a command chair on the darkened bridge of the Helicarrier. If the writing keeps up, this may be one of the best Fury storylines ever.

I found this beauty of a statue on eBay - a limited run of pieces made by a company in Brazil for a group of private collectors. When I saw it, I simply had to have it.

Here's another view of the statue. It's 11" tall, hand-painted and comes with a SHIELD emblazoned base.

Finshing out the statue idea, here's a picture of the mini-bust designed by Randy Bowen. This is the "stealth" version of the bust; there's a second "SHIELD" version with the white accessories.

In some Marvel books, Fury would often be one of the title character's regular antagonists. The Punisher, for example, saw more of Fury vs Castle than it ever saw of a team-up. SHIELD hunted Godzilla when the King of Monsters had his own Marvel title in the 70's. Along the same lines, Nick Fury usually played the role of an "enemy" to the Incredible Hulk (though not always) and it is from a Hulk issue that this image comes from.

Lee Weeks did this impressive black and white pin-up of the man from SHIELD. The full sized graphic makes for a great desktop wallpaper.

An example of Steranko going absolutely hog-wild on the gadgets and gear that he loved to incorporate so much. At the time, this picture fit the model of the genre. Nowadays it looks kind of silly, but I love a good does of nostalgia now and again.

Turning again to the very short-lived "Fury of SHIELD" title, here's an image showing how Chaykin was looking to "update" Nick for the modern age. Combat in the 1990's could include such cool gizmos as a cybernetic eye-patch. They never really expalined how it worked, or even what it really did, but hey... it looked sweet, right?

This one comes from the very successful Nick Fury vs SHIELD limited series. Having fled from SHIELD headquarters as a hunted fugitive, Nick makes his way to a secret hide-away spot he'd set up years before. Buried beneath the subways and sewer tunnels, it's not a safe-house - it's more of a safe-room with just some basic equipment and provisions. And it's from here that Nick begins the uphill battle that constitutes the remainder of the series.

Well here's something you don't see everyday - Fury making use of Captain America's trusty shield. But with Cap being one of Nick's best buds, it's bound to happen here and there. If anyone knows what issue this comes from, please let me know!

Over the last year, I believe I've seen a concerted effort by Marvel to re-ignite interest for the Nick Fury character. I base this on the growing number of appearences the character has been making across many titles (such as Captain America, the FF, X-Men and Iron Man) as well as being a significant player in several big time Marvel projects (such as the Call, 1602 and Secret War). This list also includes the 2003 "Spider-Man/Wolverine" mini-series, from which this image comes. I hate Nick's portrayal in this story, but at least it's ongoing exposure.

Here's another image done by Ladronn during his stint on Cable. See what I mean about how "Kirby-esque" his style looks? Can someone tell me if he intends for these similarities? Still, for looking so much like Kirby's style, this isn't really how Nick looked when drawn by Kirby. Go figure.

I really struggled about whether to include this pic. The David Hasselhoff live-action TV movie was horrific (other than the Helicarrier - that was sweet). But still, the fact remains that old Nick wrangled himself a live action movie, lending credence to his status in the Marvel Universe. So in acknowledgment of this dubious achievement, here's that Baywatch guy dressed up as Fury.

Another picture from Robertson's great art on the MAX series (have I mentioned how much I like his wrok?). This image comes at the conclusion of the story, with Nick on the patio of his New York city penthouse, looking out at the city's skyline at night and coming to some difficult, but tragically true, conclusions about himself.

I'm not sure where this image comes from - I think maybe a Captain America book. But I just had to add it to this gallery. It's another of those pics that highlight Fury's patriotic theme as a character, and his darker side as well. It kind of sums up the basic idea behind the character - always in the shadows, secretly protecting America by any means.
