The Rawhide Kid #57

In "When the Scorpion Strikes," the Rawhide Kid faces a masked outlaw known only as the Scorpion, whose green cloak and paralyzing plastic bullets leave the hero helpless. After regaining his strength, the Rawhide Kid uncovers a trail leading from the apothecary’s humiliation to a string of stage robberies—and a desperate man who turned his scientific mind to crime. As the abandoned mine begins to collapse, the Scorpion’s own weapon turns against him in a final, desperate twist.

In a lawless stretch of frontier where violence is currency, a notorious outlaw known only as Kleeg terrorizes the land—until a quiet, sharp-eyed Ranger arrives with a reputation that precedes him. When the two finally face off, the brute’s bravado shatters, undone not by a bullet, but by the weight of his own fear. The Ranger’s name? Wild Bill Hickok.
