- Nick Fury... A Day in the Life - Part 3 of 3. HYDRA double-agent is called Dr. Kraus by a lab-tech on page 2 and Dr. Sammartino by Gabe Jones on page 16. Since Kraus is a German name and he's a HYDRA agent, it's probably his real one (suggesting the lab-tech was also a double-agent who slipped up). Number 72 bears a striking resemblance to Don Cabellero, the first of Baron Strucker's fake identities (see Strange Tales #150-152/ November 1966-January 1967), suggesting he based his false identity on Number 72, another member of his organization. Third car of Fury's to be destroyed; this one had only been around since Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD #8 (January 1969). HYDRA returns next issue.
