Scorpion

A short-lived but cult French series from Editions Gérard Cottreau, Scorpion (1979–present) ran for just five issues, centering on a mysterious, taciturn hero navigating a shadowy world of espionage and intrigue. Known for its stark, atmospheric art and lean storytelling, the series is most associated with the creative team of writer André Oulié and artist Jean-Yves Mitton, who brought a gritty, European sensibility to the action-adventure genre. Though brief, Scorpion remains a notable entry in the landscape of late-70s French comics, prized for its moody aesthetic and tight narrative focus.
