Description
This is a copy of Strange Tales issue number 151, published by Marvel Comics Group with a cover date of December 1966. The issue features two main stories: Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a story titled The Moment of Overkill! and a Doctor Strange feature. The cover art is a collaboration between Jack Kirby on pencils and Jim Steranko on inks, with both artists signatures visible in the lower right-hand corner of the illustration. This issue is historically significant as an early example of Steranko’s influential work on the Nick Fury character. The front cover includes the standard 12-cent price, issue number, and the Comics Code Authority seal. The back cover features a full-page color advertisement for the Famous Artists Schools, headlined by an illustration and quote from Norman Rockwell. The comic is housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve with a rigid white backing board.
