It will be interesting to see a younger version of Nick Fury in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie. We've seen him in charge and now we'll get to see him as he is rising up through the ranks of S.H.I.E.L.D. Will we see how he loses his eye though?
Thank you to Jeffrey Burson for suggesting this team-up!
Not family but it smells like maybe . And why does that hood have a wooden gat?
ReplyDelete@Marc Ohare: It's more likely wood-staining.
ReplyDelete@Ross: I love this! How about one where Marla Drake turns out to be the "Mrs." Drake who raised an orphaned Bruce Banner?
Fun cover! Great suggestion, Jeffrey; and nice work, Ross!
ReplyDeletePersonally, though, I'm still waiting for an appearance here from "that other" Nick Fury (the one that Samuel L. Jackson let Marvel use his face for on condition that he got to play the character in the movies). Maybe he could meet up with Mister Terrific or the Silver Age Doctor Midnight (though if I really had a choice with the latter, I'd team her with Photon).
Oh, and the rumor is that we will indeed see how Nick lost that eye (or, more accurately, its usability) in Captain Marvel.
Random thought: Spy-Smasher with Cloak & Dagger.
@Marc: It's probably the lighting. Nick's pistol (at the far left, next to his shoulder) also appears to be wooden.
@Bob Greenwade: it'll probably be during a dramatization of that anti-terrorist incident Robert Redford (as Goodwin Pierce) described to Steve Rogers in CAPTAIN AMERICA: WINTER SOLDIER.
ReplyDeleteBtw: how about a team-up between Living Lightning, Black Vulcan, Soul Power, and Static?
ReplyDeleteYou could call them..."Ohm Boys."
Better yet The Electric BooGaLooS.
ReplyDelete@Brother Barnes: I choose Door Number One. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHeh. One of the first things that jumped out at me here was "Kirby hands." Then, or simultaneously, "Steranko." That pose is almost, but not quite, the same as the cover of the Dali-esque NF Agent of SHIELD #7.
ReplyDeleteYour graphic resources library must be a glory to behold!
Wondered about how much you toned down or altered the Fury figure, if any, to seem to match the 1940s-ish style of Miss Fury. Because it seemed to mesh well. Except, well, I blush to criticize but maybe, do you think Nick could've been just a big larger in proportion/perspective to Miss F?
@M.W. Only if this cover were meant to duplicate some of the more dramatic exaggerations used for Golden Age covers of Detective Comics. Like, say, the one entitled "The Joker of 1,001 Nights." Featuring a turban-wearing Clown Prince of Crime towering over the Dynamic Duo!
