Back to the Future prop also a Heroes Prop

[TridCloudwalker]

This may be very old news, but I don't recall ever seeing any mention of it here. I've FINALLY gotten around to watching season one of Heroes. In episode six, "Better Halves," there is a scene where D.L. is looking through a stack of Micah's comic books. The second or third one down is only slightly visible, but it is most definitely, without question, "Tales From Space," the comic owned by Old Man Peabody's son in Back To The Future.

If you freeze frame it, you can see the issue title of, "Space Zombies From Pluto."

So anyone who has that high res jpeg of the comic art, needs to dust it off, print it out, and add it to any Heroes prop displays you may have.

And speaking of high res, I only have a grainy compressed version, so if anyone has the better one (that I know is out there), could you please please post it here?

I have this comic. I got the front cover art from the real prop and I researched the back Red Ryder and put this together. Unfortunatley I can't post this image or I won't post this image because of the Ebay Prop Predators that will print this off and sell them. But I do sell these myself for $45 each. They come with a real 1950's repro comic inside as well amd they are the highest resolution you will ever find! Here's what they look like...

That is beautiful work! Your illustration style reminds me of Ron Cobb!

Now what are the chances that the kid would have a comic book featuring a flying saucer that looks exactly like a Delorean. :unsure

I have one of these comics from brad and i must say it's one of my fav pieces,great work again :thumbsup

I can not take credit for the illustration, this is a direct scan of the original art work. I did rework the Red Ryder ad which was a Black and White image to begin with.

Thanks Pitbull!! Whenever you want the Goonies Map, let me know

This is one of the useful threads...

Just saw BTTF 3 a few minutes ago and we have the 25th anniversary of BTTF, so up with this thread...

We are in 2010 and no-one believed ack in 1985 or 1990 or 1995 for example that we can own a offiial flux capacitor, walk in Martys 2015 Nikes or that someone got a complete time machine conversion...

Unbelievebel...

Lets talk about the last props. Of course we have tons of paper props, and some guys are making a good job to give us the clothes, the delorean interior/exterior parts or just hoverboards for our collection.

But always the same props. I cant count all the different sports almanachs I saw the last time on ebay or anywhere else...

So there are some props no-one er maked in a run and I think thats a pity...

BTTF 1: Save the clock tower tin - Seriously, they are very easy, and I wonder why never someone made a run for cheap money. Its not a call for a run, I just wonder...

BTTF 1+2: Hill Valley 1955/1985 Newspaper - Remember the newspaper Martys got from the trash in 1955? Or the newspaper from strickland?!? Noone ever made these newspapers. I still think these were some great props..

BTTF3: Docs Toy Time Mashine - maybe it looks cheap and not very detailed, and I know Pitbull got this prop, but it would be cool if someone would work on it...

BTTF3: Frisbie's Pies Plate - Yep, I miss a resin plate... :cry

BTTF3: Clara's Pin - This is interesting, I dont remember someone made this prop ever... Guys around here tackled the Voodoo Doll Pin from Temple of Doom, so this should be no problem.

BTTF2: Pepsi Bottles - Of course Gary made them, yes. But we are in 2010, it should be possible to make real drinking bottles, hm?!? That would be awesome....

BTTF2: Griff helmet - The toy helmet still around?

BTTF2: Biff matchbox, just paper props but never acurate versions with matches...

BTTF2: Docs future costume or martys tie?!? Interesting clothes...

BTTF3: Complete Battery Prop from the radios.


Ideas are welcome and makers who are willing to do a run more that just welcome... )

About the same as building a time machine out of one. :lol
