TALES OF A MOVIE PROP COMIC BOOK


An undiscovered EC comic? An undistributed title from Pacific Comics? Reportedly found in a warehouse (in Somewhereville, U.S.A.), this "comic book" turns out to be a prop from the movie, BACK TO THE FUTURE!

At first glance it looks like a lost EC comic by the cover design and Wally Wood-esque artwork. In fact, the cover was done by production illustrator, Andrew Probert, who is better known for his work for STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, and BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA.

Only the front and back cover were produced and attached to the "real comics", DC's SECRETS OF SINISTER HOUSE #9 (February 1973) and LOVE STORIES #148 (1973).

The prop was reproduced as an unauthorized edition in 2014 by an unknown publisher.
