After looking at hundreds of comic book covers, it becomes quickly apparent that not every cover is 100% original. Whether done intentionally or even underhandedly, there's something about uncovering these "swipes" that adds a new element of fun to reading and collecting comics.
The Secret Invasion tie-ins were filled with classic cover swipes. This cover takes its cue from the first appearance of Nick Fury as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. For that matter, it's also the first appearance of S.H.I.E.L.D. BUT, it's not the first appearance of Nick Fury. He debuted in his Sgt. Fury title (set during WWII) back in 1963.
