Höken #31/1957

"Stålskorpionen" delivers a tense, pulse-pounding chase in the rugged wilderness, as Uncas clings to a narrow cliff ledge after a fall, stranded and desperate. With help from Elden, who arrives with a rope, the two track down their quarry—Karl—only to be interrupted by the sudden arrival of Tony Martin, shifting the momentum in unpredictable ways. Written by Antonio Chiomenti and illustrated with sharp, dynamic energy by Enzo Chiomenti (with inks by the same), this 1957 issue captures a moment of high stakes and shifting alliances. The cover, by Dick Dillin and Chuck Cuidera, perfectly captures the cliffside peril.
