Fury and his Howling Commandos from 1963, before he went through so many changes as the years went by, but he also stated that he doesn't mind the more modern versions of the character and doesn't think about them or peoples perception when writing his story since he doesn't keep any sentimental attachment to the character. In Ennis opinion so is his interpretation of Fury in the series intended to be the original character which debuted in Sgt. Before My War Gone By Ennis wrote two other Fury series ( Fury in 2001 and Fury: Peacemaker in 2006) as well as including his incarnation of the character in his Punisher run.

The series garnered decent sales and critical acclaim.Įnnis has been a proponent of war comics since his youth, as he felt they had more meaning over the general superhero publications that Marvel Comics published most of the time. The comic was drawn by Goran Parlov who had previously worked with Ennis on his Punisher series.
