Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol. 1 #1 (1968)

The adventure opened with Fury penetrating a Hydra stronghold in silence, which I felt would be most effective by eliminating all words, thoughts, sound effects, captions, even the standard title—and attempt to generate the same impact as a film I’d seen when I was about fifteen: Jules Dassin’s ‘Rififi’.
