Skorpio is an Italian comic magazine, published since
1977 by the Roman publishing house Eura Editoriale and, since 2010, by
Editoriale Aurea. Publishing has been continuous since 1977, it has exceeded
one thousand numbered isues.
Skorpio is a weekly published comic book of from 92-114
pages. Over 1297 issues have been published in 25 years. At the beginning each
issue it presents 6 complete comics with fixed characters and free stories as
well as columns of games, engines, cinema, music, sports. Two years after the publishing success of
LANCIOSTORY (1975), the Eura Editoriale offers a similar publication in terms
of format and content, to satisfy the demand for new stories from its readers. The publisher's intent is to create a
newspaper "with ever wider horizons in the field of adventure and
fantasy". The stories are not
limited to the "classic" genres, from western to science fiction, but
at least initially try other ways: from sea adventures to espionage, with an
emphasis on horror-fantasy themes. The
SKORPIO series, The Lonely Avenger, designed by the Argentinean Ernesto Garcia
Seijas, gives its name to the spy genre.
