Synopsis for "The Assassination of Nick Fury"
Nick Fury's peaceful day with gal pal Laura Brown is shattered by the assassin Bull's Eye. Bull's Eye has been contracted by Hydra to assassinate Nick Fury for the sum of one million dollars. Much to his chagrin, "Fury" had gone to a Central Park concert with Laura Brown to see Country Joe and the Fish. After much surveillance, Bull's Eye "kills" his target.
Dum Dum Dugan and other SHIELD agents quickly descend upon Bull's Eye and Dugan kills him in the ensuing gun battle. Dugan and Brown are shocked to find their fallen leader, Nick Fury, dead. To be continued...
