Skorpio #1
"La gatta" kicks off with a tense, frontier-style tale from 1978, where three travelers in California cross paths with a man haunted by a decade-long quest: a Navajo chief’s buried treasure. With Roque Vitacca handling both art and inks, the story unfolds in stark, expressive lines, capturing the grit and suspense of a deception that could turn deadly. The cover by Enrique Breccia adds a haunting, atmospheric edge, perfectly matching the tale’s shadowy tone.
In the sweltering heat of Santa Catalina, Alvar answers the call to arms, thrust into a war against a French pirate. Amid the ranks, a quiet tension brews—two soldiers, bound by duty, yet divided by a shared love for the same woman.
Timber and Duncan hit the road for California, their journey shaped by chance and shared purpose. When they stumble upon a family standing firm against the region’s most powerful landowner, their path takes an unexpected turn.
When Tom rescues a shivering cat from the snow, something strange begins to stir—its devotion grows too deep, too sudden, too impossible to ignore. A quiet moment of kindness sparks a bond that feels less like affection and more like a quiet, creeping obsession.
In "Un carico di spose," fifty women set off on a journey to become pioneer brides in Oregon, and through intimate glimpses into the lives of four, we uncover the hopes, fears, and quiet courage behind their choices. A poignant, character-driven tale told with care, where each woman’s past shapes her path forward.
In the silent wreckage of a doomed mission to the alien world N-114, the last survivor stumbles through a landscape that defies reason—where the air shouldn’t sustain life, yet he sees shapes in the dark and a woman who shouldn’t be there. Something is wrong with the planet, and even more so with his mind.
In "Il tesoro dei Navajo," three travelers bound for California stumble upon a man fleeing from Navajo warriors, only to hear a tale of a decade-long hunt for a legendary treasure buried in a chief’s grave. Drawn in by the promise of riches and the challenge of outwitting the tribe, they plot to manipulate the very people guarding the secret—before the desert sun sets on their scheme.
