Sgt. Fury
Horwitz · 1964–1965 · 10 issues
About the series
During its brief 10-issue run from 1964 to 1965, Horwitz Publications' Sgt. Fury brought the grizzled, cigar-chomping sergeant of Marvel's Howling Commandos to Australian newsstands. Most frequently illustrated by Maurice Bramley, the series repackaged World War II combat stories for a local audience, offering a gritty, action-packed glimpse into the Marvel Universe's past. Though short-lived, it stands as a notable example of the international licensing boom that spread American superheroes to global markets in the mid-1960s.
