Today at New York Comic Con, IDW Publishing announced two Artist's Editions dedicated to Jim Steranko's landmark work on Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain America. The news accompanied the unveiling of plans for Jack Kirby's New Gods: Artist's Edition and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen: Artifact Edition.

Arriving in May, The Steranko Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Artist's Edition will feature the artist's initial 12 stories from Strange Tales #151-162. That will be followed at an as-yet-undetermined date by The Steranko Nick Fury and Captain America Artist's Edition, collecting the remaining Fury stories from Strange Tales #163-168, plus issues 1, 3 and 5 from Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. In addition, it will Steranko's three issues of Captain America.Nearly all of the pages were shot from original art in Steranko's personal collection.

"I probably have the distinction of making the least amount of work making the most amount of noise," Steranko said during today's IDW panel. "You've heard of the blues artist Robert Johnson? Twenty-nine recordings. That's how many comics I did, 29 issues, and I sold my soul to Stan Lee. [...] As an artist, I'm inclined to see all the mistakes I've made along the way. Thankfully, there are other people who see something else."
