Subject Matter
Genres: espionage
First Line: Explosion! Shredding the night with crimson flame...
Synopsis: Fury is taken into custody when Intelligence Agent Rickard claims he has proof Fury is associating with enemy agents. Unknown to SHIELD Rickard is actually an agent of HYDRA out to discredit Fury and destroy SHIELD. On the run, Fury attempts to avoid capture by his fellow agents and friends. He tracks down Rickard, confronts him and winds up apparently killing him in self-defense when Dum Dum Dugan shows up to arrest him for murder.

Disclose Notes: Part 1 of 3. First appearance of HYDRA in a SHIELD story since the death of Baron Strucker and the destruction of Hydra Island in Strange Tales (Marvel, 1951 series) #158 (July 1967). Another branch of HYDRA was taken out this month in Captain America (Marvel, 1968 series) #113 (May 1969). Val last appeared in Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD (Marvel, 1968 series) #5 (October 1968). Val's actions in this story were never adequately explained.

This episode formed the basis of Bob Harras' Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. (Marvel, 1988 series) #1 (June 1988). Not counting covers, this was Barry Smith's fifth story for Marvel; he was replaced in the next issue, apparently, because his green card ran out and he was forced at short notice to return to England. Smith's next Marvel work was in The Avengers (Marvel, 1963 series) #66-67 (July-August 1969). Smith confirmed, via his website, that he inked some pages of this story.
