I always heard it as Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, though that may be because I read a lot of silver age Marvel comics XD;

If nothing else looks like there may be a new entry for Officially Shortened Title

The Sgt Fury title may be something to keep in mind as a way to disambiguate if someone ever makes a page for the various modern Monster Mash-themed Howling Commandos series.

I've also heard it just called Sgt. Fury.

For what it's worth, Google says the first edition of the comic was Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos. There were also Nick Fury's Howling Commandos, and a few others (it says here).

However, the only other version we actually have a page for on a quick search is Marvel Cinematic Universe Howling Commandos.

Which might be enough to turn HC into a disambig and transplant the page. Or not,

The comic was always "Sgt. Fury and...", and the page we have now is not one of those weird comic book character pages. It can be straight-up renamed without any problems.
