"The Enemy Within!"
Script: Jack Kirby (plot); Stan Lee (dialogue)
Pencils: Jack Kirby (layouts); Don Heck
Inks: Dick Ayers
Colors: Stan Goldberg
Letters: Sam Rosen
On returning from their latest mission, Fury catches hell from the military brass, but brushes it off and gives everyone a 10-day furlough-- except Jasper, who only seems happy when he's being "worked to death". Count Royale continues bad-mouthing Fury to SHIELD's board of directors. A general, irritated by SHIELD's seemingly-excessive security measures, explains to Fury how A.I.M. has technology they desperately need, but refuse to do business as long as Fury's in charge. This, of course, only confirms Fury's earlier suspicions that A.I.M. is not on the up-and-up as they claim! Sure enough, Royale has returned to an A.I.M. observation post, and watches as a squad invades the SHIELD barber shop. Fury, Dum Dum & Jasper save the day, the rescued manicure girl miffed as Jasper's overt shyness. Royale, meanwhile, feels Fury's rash actions have put the last nail in his coffin.
"From the Nameless Nowhere Comes... Kaluu!"

Letters: Sam Rosen
For the first time in months, Strange walks around Greenwich Village running household errands, while carelessly forgetting to cast a spell to hide his magician's robes. After stopping a common robbery, he returns home to find his bills are unpaid, his bank account is empty, and a city building inspector gives him 6 months to bring his house up to code via painting and sealing up "moldy trap doors and hidden passageways". He instructs Wong to sell some jewels to pay the bills, checks up on Baron Mordo, thinks back on recent events, and then contacts a theatrical agent, Hiram Barney, about a possible nightclub gig. But he's told magic is "out"-- rock bands are "in"! Just then he's contacted by The Ancient One, who tells him of a most dire menace in the offing, named Kaluu.
