Description
The Scorpion Issue #1 marks the debut appearance of one of the most recognisable characters from the short-lived Atlas Comics line, published in February 1975 during the company’s ambitious challenge to Marvel and DC Comics. Created by legendary comic creator Howard Chaykin, The Scorpion blended Western adventure, action and vigilante themes into a distinctive Bronze Age title that has developed a strong collector following.
The dramatic first issue cover features the masked gunslinger hero battling to rescue a captive while surrounded by armed adversaries, showcasing the bold artwork and cinematic storytelling style that made the series stand out among mid-1970s comic releases. As the character’s first appearance and origin issue, this comic represents one of the key books from the Atlas/Seaboard publishing era.
A sought-after Bronze Age key issue and an excellent addition for collectors of Atlas Comics, first appearances and obscure 1970s comic titles.
