It's like the Human Torch finally found those green-tinted sunglasses! And a Helicarrier explodes right on the cover, so you know what you're getting! From 1994, Fury #1, written by Barry Dutter, pencils by M.C. Wyman, inks by Chris Ivy and Greg Adams, cover by Lou Harrison.
This came out a year or so after the end of the Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. series, and told the secret origin of the secret organization, including the director prior to Fury, Rick Stoner. I had to look that up, since while a previous director had been mentioned, he was never named or seen. Stoner had been Army Intelligence during World War II, and had met Fury, and not been impressed: he was far more by the book. Post-war, after a team-up with a pre-adamantium Logan to recover a prototype of the Guardian armor, Stoner got the nod for the director's spot, and while he did a good job with the initial set-up, he was killed by a mole, Jake Fury, Nick's brother. Still, it's hard to feel a lot of sympathy for Stoner when he didn't even want the former Howling Commandos on his team.
A ton of old issues are referenced here, like Fantastic Four #21, Sgt. Fury #29, and Strange Tales #135; although it might've been nice if they had been credited in the issue besides an acknowledgement section in the end. There are also scenes that are intended to set up the Deltites/LMD's that brought down S.H.I.E.L.D. in Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. and we see Arnim Zola working on some disgusting thing for it.
I'm not sure why he gave it four breasts, but he's the Bio-Fanatic, I guess.

DAFAQ was She-Hulk holding a pump-action shotgun for? Creative license I guess.
Man, for a guy with the last name Stoner, he sure is a mega-dick.
As for the "Alien Queen", didn't you just see Strucker say he had "Very special plans" for her?
*Cue cheap porno music*
