Disclose Notes: Reprints comics' 1st 4-page spread (requiring 2 issues side-by-side for full effect). SHIELD's invading The Yellow Claw's underground HQ pays tribute to the climax of the film YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967) with the heroes coming thru the floor instead of the ceiling. SHIELD's Dreadnought, which takes its name (ironically) from the HYDRA killer robot is in the tradition of tunneling machines used by Cave Carson in BRAVE AND THE BOLD #31 (DC Comics, September 1960), The Hate Monger in FANTASTIC FOUR #21 (February 1963), International Rescue on the TV series THUNDERBIRDS (1965) and Japan's Science Patrol on the TV series ULTRA MAN (1966). The Claw's Infinity Sphere is similar to The Legion Of Super-Heroes' Time Bubbles in ADVENTURE COMICS. With Dr. Strange battling a science-fiction villain and Fury hurtling thru other dimensions the two series in STRANGE TALES had more similarities than usual. Baron Strucker's Satan Claw was last seen in STRANGE TALES #159 (August 1967). The Prime Mover returned in GIANT-SIZE DEFENDERS #3 (January 1975). While the ending of this story would be long debated among fans, writer Steve Englehart brought back the real Yellow Claw in CAPTAIN AMERICA #164-167 (August-November 1973).
