(Marvel, 1975-1976, 2015)
™ and ©1975 Marvel Entertainment Group
On a bright, clear day in 1975, Sgt. Jim Scully was being taken from Bermuda to Miami to stand trial for the murder of his brother. Although the death had been accidental, Scully fled, and had only recently been tracked down. As the plane was traveling through the fabled Bermuda Triangle, it passed through some sort of strange turbulence that began to tear it apart. When it emerged, it was over land—strange, tropical land. The plane broke apart in midair and crashed to the ground in two pieces. Only Scully and three other passengers survived.
These survivors discover that they have moved back in time, to an epoch when dinosaurs and cavemen roamed the earth. Separated from the others, Scully uses his military training to survive and conquer. Eventually, “Jim Scully” becomes Skull the Slayer.
