☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn Sinister Tales #85, a mystery unfolds across the country as Nick Fury traces a series of seemingly unrelated events to a single, ominous symbol: Scorpio. Written and illustrated by Jim Steranko, with inks by Joe Sinnott and letters by Sam Rosen, this gripping tale follows Fury as he uncovers a trail of assassinations, hidden identities, and a conspiracy stretching from Nevada’s desert test sites to San Francisco’s back alleys. The cover, also by Steranko, captures the tension of a world on edge—where a single badge, a tattoo, and a whispered name could be the key to a deadly game.
In *Sinister Tales #85*, Nick Fury races to uncover the truth behind a mysterious assassin known only as Scorpio, a shadowy figure whose symbol appears across the country—from a fake Fury in an island fortress to a tattooed racecar driver, a secret weapons technician, and a sleeper agent in Las Vegas. As Fury pieces together the clues, he finds himself entangled in a web of coincidences and deadly traps, while a desperate comic book artist and a mobster stumble into the same deadly game. The hunt leads to a final confrontation where the line between fate and conspiracy blurs, and Fury must ask: who is Scorpio, and why is everyone else caught in his scheme?
