4	''Fury: Peacemaker'' is a 6-issue miniseries published in 2006 for the Creator/MarvelKnights imprint. A StealthPrequel to the earlier ''ComicBook/FuryMAX'' that tones down the blood and gore, it was written by Creator/GarthEnnis and illustrated by Darrick Robertson. The story follows Nick Fury as a young soldier in World War II.
5
6	!!''Fury: Peacemaker'' contains examples of the following tropes:
7
8	* AristocratsAreEvil: Colonel von Stehle is from a noble family. While he's involved in a plot to kill Hitler, it isn't out of moral outrage, but to keep the Soviets from seizing his fortune.
9	* BloodKnight: Kynaston, and Fury starts becoming one after meeting Barkhorn.
10	--> '''Barkhorn:''' A word of advice, Sergeant. If you want to be good at this? Learn to enjoy it.
11	* TheCameo: Surprisingly for such a grounded universe, [[spoiler: ComicBook/CaptainAmerica]] is seen in the crowd celebrating the end of the war in Europe.
12	* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Fury's unnamed Lieutenant seems modeled after Creator/CharlesBronson. An interesting case, as there is already another comic character with strong connections to Fury modeled after Bronson; Pvt. Izzy Cohen of the Howling Commandos.
13	* ContinuityNod: Kynaston shows Fury a newspaper clipping to demonstrate the ferociousness of the Soviets destined to be their enemy, one of a young [[ComicBook/FuryMAX Rudi Gagarin]] being decorated for actions in the battle of Stalingrad.
14	* DeathByAdaptation: Usually, the Howling Commandos survive the war with some continuing to serve with Fury in SHIELD. Here, Fury says they've dwindled to Fury and two other men by the end of the Normandy campaign.
15	* {{Irony}}: Fury and Kynaston's intention is to keep the war going, but they get captured and miss the last six months of it.
16	* DesertWarfare: The series kicks off in early 1943 North Africa, with Fury fighting in the battle of Kasserine Pass.
17	* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Fury starts off as an average grunt, but soon joins the OSS. His British friends are SAS, and the team they join for the titular operation also includes Royal Marine and SOE commandos, and are lead by a Ranger. Ultimately, their elite cred doesn't stop half the team, leader included, from getting killed before they make it off their transport.
18	* EverybodysDeadDave: [[spoiler: Fury and Kynaston survive, but that's it.]]
19	* LighterAndSofter: ''Peacemaker'' acts as a prequel to Ennis' 2001 edgy action-packed ''Fury'' miniseries and also shares universe with his iconic ''[[ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX The Punisher MAX]]'' run, but it's waaaaay family-friendlier than its predecessor and other Earth-200111 titles, as it was published in the Marvel Knights line instead of MAX.
20	* MoeGreeneSpecial: How Fury loses his eye.
21	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Field Marshel Barkhorn is one for Erwin Rommel, or at least the popular depiction of the man; an honorable, brilliant general with the bad luck of having to work for the Nazi regime,[[spoiler: who is linked to a plot to assassinate the Führer and has to take his own life.]]
22	%%* NobleDemon: Barkhorn.
23	* OfficerAndAGentleman: Barkhorn may be working for a monster, but he's an honorable man and a brilliant commander.
24	* OperationBlank: ''Peacemaker'' is the name of the allied plan to assassinate a Wehrmacht general who jeopardizes the success of an upcoming offensive.
25	* StartOfDarkness: For Fury. He starts out as a soldier trying to do his job correctly, but ends up as a war junkie planning wars just to have something to do.
26	* TankGoodness: The commando team has their position threatened by a German King Tiger. No sooner do they take care of it do two more arrive.
27	* TigerByTheTail: Barkhorn's position regarding the war. While he is appalled at learning of the ethnic cleansing on the Eastern Front, he is determined to fight to the bitter end because of what will happen to Germany if they don't.
28	* TooDumbToLive: Major [=McNeal,=] who is in charge of the mission, reacts to the plane carrying him and the team getting straffed by opening the door and shooting at the pursuing German aircraft. It doesn't end well for him, and the survivors are bewildered at his behavior.
