Description

I LOVE Howard Chaykin art! I have a few pages from this series, and should post more! One of the first and best Original Graphic Novels by Archie Goodwin and Howard Chaykin! An incredible team!

Featuring Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan Pump Iron

The iconoclastic Howard Chaykin drew this page featuring Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan lifting weights as part of the graphic novel Wolverine, NIck Fury: The Scorpio Connection (1989). The two old friends joke about their age being that they are World War II veterans who began their comic book careers in Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #1, a 1963 comic book based during WWII. Even in 1989, WWII vets were getting a bit old to be fighting HYDRA all day long! This is a nice page for Fury fans and it even includes the rare sight of Dugan without his trademark bowler hat.

Wolverine and Nick Fury become uneasy allies in an international manhunt to find and stop the new Scorpio! What is the secret relationship between Fury and the new Scorpio? All we dare say here is that Nick wants to bring Scorpio in alive...and Wolverine wants him dead!

Synopsis for "The Scorpio Connection"

An entire SHIELD unit in Peru, including Agent Nanjiwarra, is destroyed while tracking a terrorist organization called Swift Sword. The killer, named Scorpio, leaves his calling card, the zodiacal Scorpio symbol. In NYC, Fury and Dum Dum Dugan have a workout before Fury goes hom, wondering what it would have been like to start a family and live a normal life. He gets a call from SHIELD.

Elsewhere, the X-Men break free from Arcade’s murderworld, and Wolverine lunges at him, only to realize he is an exploding LMD. The real Arcade taunts him from a screen and says he has learned through SHIELD chatter that an old friend of Wolverine’s at SHIELD, Nanjiwarra, has been killed. Wolverine flies into a rage, destroying the screen as Arcade laughs.

At SHIELD headquarters, Fury is chagrined to learn from the calling card that Scorpio has returned. He says he will handle this personally and storms out; he doesn’t want them to know that Scorpio was his own brother, Jake. At a nearby bar he is confronted by an incognito Wolverine, who demands to be a part of the team that will hunt Nanjiwarra’s killer. Fury is reluctant but finally consents.

On an Aegean island, two tourists approach a man named Mikel, but another lady arrives and rebuffs them. Mikel boards a yacht with the older lady that is revealed to be his mother, and he himself is revealed to be the new Scorpio as he gets in costume and trashes the buildings on a small deserted island with his Scorpion key weapon. He and his mother, Amber d’Alexis, vow to destroy SHIELD followed by Nick Fury, whom Scorpio blames for killing his father.

Aboard the SHIELD helicopter flying to Peru, Wolverine recounts his meeting with David Nanjiwarra during a mission for the Canadian government in the Australian desert, where he was shot and left for dead but saved by Nanjiwarra, an Aboriginal spy. Since Najiwarra has faced discrimination in the Australian service, Wolverine suggests he join SHIELD. In the present, SHIELD retrieves the bodies of its dead agents, as Wolverine begins to track the killer. He finds an outpost used by Swift Sword and breaks into their files.

Scorpio raids and decimates another SHIELD facility, this time in Venice. However, Fury is there too, having guessed Scorpio would strike there next. Fury is relieved when he judges Scorpio not to be his deceased brother. They brawl among the buildings and canals of Venice, and Scorpio says he is the son of Fury’s brother Jake, seeking to kill Fury in retaliation for Fury murdering Jake. With SHIELD agents swarming upon him Scorpio flees.

In Istanbul, Wolverine follows a man connected with Swift Sword. He hopes the target will lead SHIELD to his suppliers, but the man is soon assassinated, leaving Wolverine surrounded. Mikel Fury’s mom emerges and says the trap was intended for Nick Fury himself, but Wolverine will have to do. Wolverine fights her men, but Scorpio arrives and uses his sonic weapon to blast Wolverine nearly senseless.

Nick Fury arrives and knocks the lights out long enough to drag Wolverine away. Each man feels the other ruined the operation; both men describe why it is personal for them. Fury recounts how, during his CIA years, he met Amber d’Alexis, who was running criminal operations in Macao, and witnessed her affair with his brother Jake. Fury also had a tryst with her in order to gain intel from her. Eventually, he had Amber arrested, causing his brother to turn against him and eventually become Scorpio to try and kill him. Wolverine says he now feels guilty about Jake’s suicide and Mikel’s hatred of him; Fury agrees. Wolverine says if Fury’s not able to do what’s necessary, then he will.

Using a homing device he attached to Scorpio, Fury and Wolverine track them to a small Aegean island and infiltrate their villa, where they are trapped and gasse
