Skorpio #21
In "Il ritorno," two soldiers from opposing Cold War powers—once enemies, now stranded on a forgotten world—must set aside decades of ideological division. Written by Jorge Claudio Morhain and illustrated with stark precision by Eugenio Zoppi, this 1978 issue from Eura Editoriale finds the American commander and a surviving Soviet pilot forging a new path on a small planet, neither American nor Soviet, but something entirely new. The cover, a striking collaboration by Enrique Breccia, captures the tension and isolation of their uncharted beginning.
