Our annual post.
Today, July 4, is Independence Day in the United States.
For this blog, there’s no better image to celebrate the holiday than this Jim Steranko cover from Strange Tales No. 167, published in January 1968. The issue was the climax to a months-long saga that Steranko wrote and drew featuring the intrepid Nick Fury and the forces of SHIELD.
In 2022, there is a lot of division on many political and social issues. But Steranko’s image remains iconic.
