Scarlet Scorpion

Scarlet Scorpion is a Bronze Age creation who made their debut in Paragon Illustrated #3 in 1971, brought to life by Bill Black — a publisher and creator whose AC Comics imprint became a beloved haven for fans of classic adventure and costumed heroics. Spanning an impressive four decades of publication, this character is a quiet testament to the enduring passion of independent comics, turning up across distinctive AC titles like Femzine and the retrospective Bizarre Thrills: The Paragon Publications Story. With a key issue already to their name and a roster of intriguing co-stars including The Shade, Silva Synn, and Synesthesia, Scarlet Scorpion occupies a genuinely fascinating corner of Bronze Age independent publishing — the kind of character that rewards the curious collector willing to dig beyond the mainstream.
