What does crooked nightclub owner Lyle see?
Be here Wednesday to find out...
The Scorpion was the creation of Howard Chaykin, a young writer-artist who was already a recognized talent in the comics industry.
Unfortunately, while he was (and is) good, he was also slow, and the deadline for this issue crept up on him.
To
get the book out on time, a group of friends including Mike Kaluta,
Walt Simonson, Ed Davis, and Berni Wrightson jumped in doing whatever
needed to be done, so the issue is a fascinating amalgam of styles.
