"New" BTTF comic!
Pardon all the BTTF posts this evening. I've been watching the BTTF trilogy on Blu-Ray since yesterday and got the BTTF bug re-activated. :lol
Anyway, as most folks know, BTTF was pretty authentic with their magazines, books, etc. as far as being from the proper time periods.
We've all seen the Fantastic Story Magazine, Tales from Space comic, etc. However, while watching last night, I picked out another comic book that I don't believe anyone has ever noticed before. I've been doing a ton of researching (mostly to nail down the actual comic book) and haven't seen this mentioned anywhere.
During the first cafeteria scene in BTTF where Marty is trying to get his dad to ask out his mom - and then eventually turns into a near fist fight between Marty and Biff - you'll see one of Biff's cronies with a folded-up comic book. He flips through it as Lorraine chats with her friends. Very, very short screen time (approx. 3 seconds), but I was able to figure out the comic book name and the issue appearing in this scene.
Granted, this isn't as "iconic" (icomic? :lol) as the aforementioned comics, but, for the purists, it's another authentic BTTF item that you can add to your collections.
So for those that are interested, here you go:
Here's a grab from the scene showing the comic:
This is a comic called HEADLINE COMICS. It is issue #67 and the publication date is Sep-Oct 1954.
Here's the actual issue, just like the one used in the film:
If anyone's interested, I am trying to get my hands on a high quality scan of this (both front and back) and fortunately have a lead.
Good luck tracking one down.
