The Scorpion

Howard Chaykin brought The Scorpion to life in 1975 for Seaboard, one of the more intriguing creative ventures of the Bronze Age, and this character carries all the stylish, pulpy energy you'd expect from that distinctive pairing of talent and era. With only a handful of appearances on record, The Scorpion is a rare find — the kind of short-lived gem that serious Bronze Age collectors genuinely prize. Sharing those pages with the memorable Moro Frost, the series has a compact mythology that rewards the curious reader willing to hunt it down. If you love the experimental, anything-goes spirit that defined mid-seventies comics outside the Big Two, The Scorpion is exactly the obscure treasure worth tracking down.
