"The Breakdown of Sgt. Fury!"
An impromptu memorial service is held for the recently departed Nicholas Fury. The Howlers believe their leader perished in a plane crash they survived, in the midst of some African jungle.
Fury, in truth has been captured by his Nazi nemesis, Baron Strucker, who experiments on Fury with potions and vapors, bewildering the American sergeant.
Nick is so befuddled by the treatments that even after escaping, he doesn't trust his own senses when reunited with his squad; as he presumed them to be dead too.
