I heard that too, though I've never seen it confirmed by anyone.
As for my feelings on the issue-- I just read it for the first time about three years ago when Marvel put out the trade collections of their first 50 issues. Like Outrider said, the hype was definitely justified. Hama's art is fantastic, and it's really a shame he didn't draw many more issues.
I have a trade paperback of "Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD," with an introduction by Larry Hama. In the intro, Hama explains that this issue was an homage to the first few pages of Nick Fury #1. Those pages are entirely silent and feature Nick infiltrating an enemy castle or tower or something. You can definitely see where the influence came from!
