Any good super-spy needs the right gear, and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Man For The Job!
Its a viewscope that shows us Nick Furys skeleton.
we see the incredible ability to create carbon copies of human beings, the L.M.D., a.k.a.
and has scaled-down sidewinder missiles.
Oh yeah, it can fly, too!
Tracy had been using a 2-Way Wrist Radio since 1946.
And, thankfully, the X-Ray skulls from the cover are included in the story as well!
- Fury meets Tony Stark, the man in charge of the Special Weaponry Section of S.H.I.E.L.D.
(could this become a plot point forAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.or futureAvengersfilms?)
They enter a war room where a large globe with the symbolic arms of Hydra encircling the Earth!
is blasted by Stark with a transistorized gun blast.
You may have a better idea of what a transistorized gun blast is than Stan Lee did.
Kirby may have explained it in his margin notes, but all weve got is transistorized gun blast.
It might mean that there werent any bullets…but its hard to tell.
And thats all just the FIRST issue!
But theres even more in the next one…
Find Fury or Die!
Seriously.What the heck is that helmet all about?
A Hydra agent is locked in a shoe-shine chair.
A nattily dressed Hydra agent receiving a manicure is bound and gagged hi-tech style!
Nick Fury uses a hand-held hypno-beam on the two captured Hydra agents.
Mind control is clearly not beyond the scope of Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D!
This method of gaining entry to S.H.I.E.L.D.
But more importantly…what is it with these S.H.I.E.L.D.
and Hydra agents and grooming in this story?
Hydra-Ram, Hydra-Hunters, Stans working those Hydra-Hyphens giving names to this Kirby-Tech!
- Hydra-ram has many functions!
It has Laser Ray and Electro-Magnet!
It can core an apple!
- Fury observes Hydra in the warehouse with a fancy periscope
And there you have it.
But still, there are twenty four pages of 1965 comics filled with all kinds of spy-tastic Kirby-Tech goodness.
Two issues ofStrange Taleshad as many crazy gadgets and gizmos as half the James Bond franchise.
TheAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.TV series has some serious boots to fill!
