The Scorpion #5

A darkly magnetic figure dominates this Cinebook release, as The Scorpion stares out from the cover with cool, calculated intensity — dual flintlock pistols raised and ready, his tricorn hat cutting a sharp silhouette against a moody teal backdrop. Enrico Marini's cover art delivers a portrait of dangerous confidence that perfectly suits the volume's title, In the Name of the Father. Writer Stephen Desberg and artist Marini continue their swashbuckling historical adventure series with this 2012 installment, making it an easy recommendation for fans of stylish action and atmospheric period storytelling.
