Skorpio #19
In "Billy the Kid & Pat Garrett - Due Colt di fronte alla giustizia," a 1978 issue from Eura Editoriale, the story unfolds with a tense standoff between five aliens grappling with a moral dilemma: whether to discard their five robots or the five Earth slaves in their custody. With two votes for each side, Number Five seeks clarity through an unexpected measure—requesting a pianist and one of the robots to perform a Beethoven piece, a moment that underscores the weight of their decision. Written by Antonio Rosso and illustrated with striking precision by Juan Giménez, the issue’s cover by Lucho Olivera and Enrique Eduardo Campdepadrós captures the dramatic tension in bold, vivid lines.
