Profiles 50 - The Nick Fury Formula (Dec 2001) |
 | | Nick Fury, an infantry sergeant in Silver Age comics about the Second World War, came to pull a second shift in comics, dragging most of his hide, an endless stream of smelly cigars, and a chutzpah that brought him, alive, out of the European Theater of Operations in the 1940s. |
 | | Nick Fury treatments worth noticing begin with the premise of dangerous geopolitical forces that, but for the exceptional efforts of heroic men, might wash over our civilization like a tidal wave and carry away those elements we consider fundamental virtues of our culture, including, but not limited to, liberty, prosperity, and our national identity. |
 | | Nick Fury, in both the Sergeant and Colonel versions, belonged among a number of heroes that we recognize as meaning business once we see that someone or something has shredded their shirts. |
