So Shall Ye Reap... Death!

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: espionage
Character(s): Arms-Men (antagonists); Tiffany (introduction, actor); Kong (robotic prop)
First Line: Death has many doors to let out life!
Synopsis: Off the Pacific Coast, en route to the Heli-Carrier Fury and Jimmy Woo are knocked out of the sky and wind up on a volcanic island transformed into a Garden of Eden and biological laboratory by Centurius, a scientist who disappeared in the 1930s when his theories were scoffed at. After creating both new and extinct forms of life and sending them into space Centurius plans to rain down fire on the Earth for forty days and forty nights, cleansing it and starting the world anew. With the help of a visiting movie company and their robot gorilla prop, Fury and Woo put the kibosh on his plans.

Disclose Notes: Centurius becomes the 3rd Steranko villain to use the phrase "Parable Of Doom" (see page 10, panel 9), though to date there appears no connection whatsoever between him, Baron Strucker & Scorpio. Last panel on page 5 altered due to the Comics Code Authority; inadvertently, the new panel is far more suggestive than the one it replaced. Original panel restored in 2000 reprint.

The character of Noah Black [Centurius] is Marvel's first black super-villain.

Joe Giella (longtime friend of Frank Giacoia) assists on inks; Fury's face in page 10, panel 7 is clearly his work.
