Vietnam. 1971.
As war rages on, Nick Fury gets captured by the Viet Cong. Afraid that he might reveal some top secret information to his captors, the CIA recruits Lt. Frank Castle (the Punisher) to assassinate him.
Get Fury, a five-issue limited series out this month, is the baby of writer Garth Ennis and artist Jacen Burrows. Artist Dave Johnson has drawn the series’ covers.
“There’s a nice sense of things coming full circle with Get Fury; the editor is my good friend Nick Lowe, who handled Born back at the beginning some 20+ years ago, and just like that story this one sees Frank Castle as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam (in fact, it goes some way to explaining how he ended up at Firebase Valley Forge in the first place),” Ennis said. “As the two most violent men in mainstream comics, Fury and Frank work well together- just like they did in the Vietnam sequence of Fury: My War Gone By. All in all, if Get Fury turns out to be the last time I write Frank, I think it’ll make for a worthy farewell.”
“I never have more fun on a project than I do with Garth, and his work with these two characters is world class,” Burrows added. “Getting to bring this chapter of their saga to life was extremely exciting to me as a huge fan of those previous books.
“And I think I am in the minority of artists that really enjoy the research aspect of doing a period book, so getting to draw a comic set at the tail end of the Vietnam War was a fun challenge,” he said.
