Something completely else: does someone recognize the comic inside the tales from space cover:
I know it's a fake cover, but the inside comic is a real one. The picture above is from a production prop, so if this comic could be identified, I'd like to use a reprint (or the comic itself) in the Tales from Space replica I'm creating (maybe will do a run of them when they are finished).
That would be cool. Still missing in my collection...
BTW: Can anyone identify these pages and know if they are part of the comic inside the Tales Comic?!?

The inside comic appears to be from the 70s or 80s. The lettering and artwork has a completely different style from any of the 1950s era stuff.
These are also from the Weird Science 7 comic:
James Halperin:
rivate Collection Items (scroll down a bit)Only... I can't confirm that this comic is actually what we see on the picture of the original prop. I wasn't able to find the inner pages of this comic... yet...
The comic inside that production prop (if it's really a production prop!!!) is definitely not "Weird Fantasy" #7. I know that Brad (Jedifyfe) used this issue for the replicas he sold. Maybe he can tell us, why he used this specific one?! I've also checked "Weird Science" #7 and a lot of another comics from the 1950s, but I haven't found the correct comic.
I just assumed that as more than one copy was made of 'Tales from Space' that the donor comic book was probably different in each case because they were used as set dressing elsewhere in the movie.
Yeah, it's possible that more than one comic was used for different tales from space comics. But the one on the picture is definetely one of these. So if we can identify that one, we can use it and know that the inside corresponds with at least one screen used prop...
Mmm, actually not that difficult to find, it seems. I'm not into this prop, but for those who are: grab these here:

That's the one! There's another similar key that doesn't have the correct markings. I'm still having a hard time locating the exact type of key blank that was used for the DeLorean though. :unsure

Key Blank Volvo 73-76, MG 78-81, Delorean X29 VO73 | eBay
ebay suggests it a 1970s volvo key pattern ...whats the bet the studios had lots of keys made probably at a key maker kiosk or somewhere using non genuine blanks.

Here is a vector PDF of the Green PCM label for the FP-T8SGA-P DeLorean remote. All the text and lines that are white here should be silver on the actual label.

Thanks for sharing that label if I can get a remote to mod, that will be so useful!!

The "Point Of No Return" sign
Today I want to share my current project with you: the "Point Of No Return" sign from the third movie. First I had to identify the book, that was used for the sign: it's "The Young and Field Literary Readers Book Four". I found this original book on eBay. Costs: $ 5 plus shipping.
Before I did the next step, I scanned the book cover:
Next step: painting the letters with a brush. I used matte white tinting paint. I tried to paint the letters as accurate as possible. It was not so easy. :wacko
Here is the result:
A4 size: Point_Of_No_Return_Sign_remade_by_Roland_Zubcic_A4.pdf
US-letter size: Point_Of_No_Return_Sign_remade_by_Roland_Zubcic_US-Letter.pdf
Now you have the choice:
- print it out, cut the letters out and use it as template for painting it yourself on the correct book
or
- print it out and stick it on any book of your choice. The original book has the following dimensions:
cm: 14.2 x 18.8 x 2.1
inch: 5.6 x 7.4 x 0.83
Preview picture:
Have fun!
