Tales from space BTTF

The cover of Tales From Space looking very familiar.

"Take that you mutated son of a bitch!"
Otis Peabody

Tales From Space was a comic book read by Sherman Peabody in 1955. It detailed aliens coming to Earth from Pluto. It was in Sherman's possession when the DeLorean time machine slammed into their barn.

From the comic book, it showed a spacecraft that looked very similar to the DeLorean as well as an alien in a yellow suit, just like marty's radiation suit. Sherman believed that the spaceman had also mutated into human form as Marty McFly took off his helmet.

Behind the scenes

  • Tales from Space was not a real comic book, but rather it was a prop created specifically for Back to the Future by Andrew Probert, the movie's production illustrator. Though essentially fake, it was strongly based on real comics released by EC Comics in the 1950s.
