comment |
From legendary Comic Book duo Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, one of the most iconic American war comics. Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos followed a racially-integrated special operations squad of the US Army during World War II, as they fought Those Wacky Nazis.A war comic "in the Mighty Marvel Manner", the Howlers' missions were usually larger-than-life adventure stories, less realistic than, for instance, DC's Sgt. Rock feature. The series run for 120 issues (May, 1963-July, 1974)The Howlers eventually met up with many "modern" Marvel characters who were active in WWII, including Captain America, a young Reed Richards and Baron von Strucker, who was one of Fury's chief enemies both as a Wehrmacht officer and decades later as head of HYDRA. Nick Fury and many of the Howlers survived the war and became active in "modern" Marvel stories as well. Indeed, Dum-Dum Dugan even wound up leading S.H.I.E.L.D.'s anti-Godzilla forces!In the movie, Captain America: The First Avenger, these characters (minus Nick Fury, who was already established as a present-day character in the MCU) are merged in concept with Cap's World War II superhero group, The Invaders. Essentially it's the Howlers but includes Captain America, Bucky and James Montgomery Falsworth (who is the British superhero, Union Jack, in the comics and father of two Invaders, Spitfire and Union Jack II).The "Howling Commandos" name has also been occasionally used by Marvel for an entirely different team, a strike force of supernatural creatures working for S.H.I.E.L.D. This version originally ran for six months back in 2006, and was revived for 2015's All-New, All-Different Marvel relaunch. It also appeared in two animated series, Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.. |

Politically Correct History |
| Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos (Comic Book) / int_7e74d66f |
comment |
One issue had a bigoted replacement commando join their ranks temporarily, at which time he antagonized Dino, Izzy and Gabe, an Italian, Jewish and African American. Everyone acted like it was a very rare and backward view. Of course, since the comics were written at a time when this was true (the racism), YMMV on whether this is Politically Correct History on the part of the comic and/or the authors, or whether they were seriously trying to show that racism was stupid. Point is the Howlers acted like they'd never met a racist person before. Subverted with an issue flashing back to the Howlers' first mission. It's clearly shown how Southern-bred Reb is not happy having to be with Gabe. At one point, he snaps "be happy we let a guy like you talk to us" and Izzie fires back on how "that kind of talk is reserved for Nazis!" A later issue shows Reb gaining respect when Gabe risks his life saving Reb's behind enemy lines. |

comment |
Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: In one issue, the Howlers help out a Greek resistance cell but one Greek betrays them all to the Germans. He steps forward to accept his reward but the German commander says anyone who'd sell out his own countrymen will turn on anybody. He thus hands the guy back to his own former comrades who make it clear they'll dispense their own "justice." on him. |

Tyrant Takes the Helm: In a Crossover with Combat Kelly and his Deadly Dozen, Captain Conner, the martinet son of a general, is given command of both the Deadly Dozen and the Howling Commandos. He proves to The Neidermeyer who cracks under the strain of facing real combat for the first, and his indecision nearly gets both the Dozen and the Howlers killed, forcing Fury to relieve him of command. Succumbing to paranoia, Conner attempts to execute Fury and Kelly for mutiny before being shot by 'Bullseye' Miller. |

Thematic Series: the series had the 'The' stories, a series of moralistic stories focusing on a specific One-Shot Character to elucidate the various facets of war, starting with 'The War Lover' and concluding with 'The Reporter'. |

Alliterative Name: A few members of the Howling Commandos, Robert "Rebel" Ralston, Percival "Percy" Pinkerton, Jonathan "Junior" Juniper and, probably most famously, "Dum Dum" Dugan. |

Awful Wedded Life: Dum Dum sometimes mentions enlisting mostly to get away from his wife, lamenting that he's ended up with Fury, who's almost as much of a hardass as she was. |

Intentionally Awkward Title |
| Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos (Comic Book) / int_e0d20ea6 |
comment |
Intentionally Awkward Title: Stan Lee once had an argument with his publisher about why his comics were doing well. Martin Goodman, the publisher in question, argued that it was all due to the strength and simplicity of the titles. So Stan challenged him by saying he would make a comic with the worst title he could imagine. The result was Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos. |

Mildly Military: Justified. The Commandos get away with their definitely non-regulation uniforms and generally eccentric behaviour because they're good enough to earn some leeway, and stubborn enough that getting them to fall in line would be a fool's errand anyway. |

Impostor-Exposing Test: Fury is suspicious that one of the "prisoners" in a camp escape is a German spy. After a long hike, he has Howler Gabe take a long sip from a thermos of water and then offer it to the rest. Sure enough, the Nazi is the one who, despite obvious thirst, refuses to drink from the same thermos a black man just used. |
