Jim Steranko.
The half of Strange Tales previously occupied by the Human Torch is now home to Nick Fury, Agent of Shield, which I found a little confusing what with this being the twenty-second instalment of what seems to be an ongoing saga. The Supreme Hydra makes an ominous announcement to everyone on Earth, not least the superheroes, and we get a single panel of the X-Men paying attention and looking worried - so that was thirty dollars well spent. This issue features an advert pushing a cure for premature baldness which, combined with Steranko's eye-boggling hallucinogenic art, leaves me inclined to distrust the received wisdom of comics having been just for kids until Alan Moore invented the graphic novel by implying that the Joker raped Commissioner Gordon's daughter.
