The saga of the Skull begins here! James Scully is a man down on his luck; a freed POW of Vietnam, he returns home to a life he barely recognizes. Scully’s brother has turned to drugs; his parents have died from grief believing their son to be dead, his wife has left him for another man. But when James ends up on the lam for a crime he didn’t commit, his downtrodden life takes a turn for the unexpected. Witness the birth of Skull the Slayer, a man trapped 250 million years in the past!
