A few months back (ok, it was way back in February), I wrote about delving into the history of favorite characters by reading their early stories. It’s a great way to indulge your fandom.

In the whole of his history, Nick Fury has taken on international crime cartels, political terrorists, intergalactic evils and his own organization!
