Who is Old Skull?

Old Skull is a large, simple-minded but warm-hearted companion who travels alongside Killraven in a post-apocalyptic future Earth overrun by Martian invaders, fighting for humanity's survival as part of Killraven's band of Freemen.

A gentle giant born from one of the Bronze Age's most artistically ambitious Marvel series, Old Skull made his debut in Amazing Adventures #29 in 1975, courtesy of the celebrated creative pairing of Don McGregor and Craig Russell. He's spent nearly five decades sharing the page with fan-favorites like Killraven, Carmilla Frost, and M'Shulla Scott β€” a roster that speaks to the rich, character-driven world he inhabits. With appearances stretching all the way to 2021, Old Skull is a testament to the enduring loyalty that McGregor and Russell's visionary run inspires in collectors, making him a rewarding discovery for anyone diving deep into Marvel's Bronze Age treasures.
