Free Comic Book Script - Unknown Sword by Kurt Brugel
Theme: Time-Travel
In this comic book adventure, museum clerk Gavin Trevayne stumbles upon an ancient, skull-adorned sword hidden in a crate labeled “UNKNOWN SWORD.” Drawn by the promise of quick profit, he secretly removes the artifact—Skull-Biter—from the museum. But the sword’s eerie hum and glow repeatedly teleport him to a barbaric alien realm, where savage Aesir warriors mistake him for their prophesied champion, Crom the Barbarian. Forced into battles and entangled in the fate of his own sister Bernice, also trapped in this brutal world, Gavin wrestles with both his greed and the sword’s unpredictable magic. His dangerous actions anger Skull-Biter’s mystic power, which threatens to destroy him if he continues misusing it. Eventually cast back to the museum, Gavin realizes this unknown sword is no mere relic—it’s a force beyond human control, and its true purpose may well be a judgment on his own heart.
