Back to the Future creator/screenwriter Bob Gale returns with all-new tales from the twisting and turning timeline that made Back to the Future a, well… TIMELESS pop-culture phenomenon! Take a trip back to 1985 and be there when Doc Brown and Marty McFly first meet, and then jump even farther back, to 1945, to witness Doc’s involvement in the super-secret Manhattan Project. Collects issues #1–5. Review: Further story development, and a truly fun time. - I have always been a big fan of the Back to the Future franchise, and when I saw that IDW had started making a comics to continue the story, I was very excited. This particular graphic novel is fantastic for the true fan that wants back story, and a better understanding of the characters. This graphic novel develops the storyline much more. After reading it, you have a much better understanding of the characters, such as how Marty and Doc met, etc. The writing and graphics are very well done. I would highly recommend this graphic novel. If you loved the trilogy and want more, start with this book, and you'll be hooked! Review: A must have comic for every fan of the movies - Great compilation of the first 5 comics of Back to the Future. Great histories that serve as a complement to the movies, some stories are between movies, the more entertaining include the first time Marty and Doc Brown meet and how they became friends, Clara Clayton (Clara Brown) history before meeting Doc, George McFly and Lorraine Baine looking for Calvin Klein, why the Brown Mansion was burned, how Biff from 2015 dominated the time machine to get to 1955, etc. If you are a fan of the movie trilogy this will be the comic for you, as the stories look in the quality of the storytelling from the movies.

Great compilation of the first 5 comics of Back to the Future.

Movies... where we are going we don't need a BTTF 4 movie!
Bob Gale takes us back to the future... and its awesome! So make like a tree and get out of here, read it now! If you are a fan of BTTF, then dont hestiate to read these comics, it only adds to trilogy. Story continuity is there, these aren't one off comics. These comics will make you fall back in love with McFly and Doc... It's your density to read this!

although I didn't enjoy some of the directions they went with character origin ...
It's a neat continuation of the characters, although I didn't enjoy some of the directions they went with character origin stories. Also, the format, as a non-comicbook reader was so-so. If you're a fan of BTTF, get it. If someone is just a casual fan of BTTF and you're thinking of getting it as a gift, I would probably recommend something else.

nice illustrations. The stories intertwine with the original story ...
Interesting concept, nice illustrations. The stories intertwine with the original story and the characters remain like those in the movie. A lot of these graphic novels tend to deviate so far from the established characters and plotline that they feel like they were written about some other series. These intriguing tales stay true to the formula and characterizations that we all love. A fun book.

Amazing!! Required reading for all BTTF Fans
Being a comic book you really get to experience this as almost a movie. It’s a wonderful expansion to the BTTF world, perfect when you want more and know a 4th film will never happen. Truly feels like canon.

and out of the respect that there should be no other movies made (even a reboot) I feel this was the happy medium to provide more BTTF Universe Knowledge
As a fan of the original trilogy, and out of the respect that there should be no other movies made (even a reboot) I feel this was the happy medium to provide more BTTF Universe Knowledge, and continue the fandom. It was good to follow Marty and Doc on another adventure.

Cool Collector's Item, Okay Story
I'm a lifelong fan and thought the stories were okay. I probably would have enjoyed them more when I was a kid. The artwork is gorgeous, though. I found myself wishing I had posters of a lot of the pages.

Scénario plaisant ... Back was only the beginning
C'est avec plaisir que l'on retrouve les personnages de la trilogie dans des aventures inédites et c'est là le point fort. Le bémol c'est la ressemblance qui n'est pas toujours bonne pour la transformation en comics des comédiens.

Great Scott! This is heavy!!
I'm a massive fan of the BTTF franchise and have seen the movies more times than I care to remember! I bought this book on a whim, because it promised to fill in some gaps in the storylines, such as how Marty and Doc first met, amongst others. All I can say is WOW! It certainly delivers on that promise. This book is brilliant. I wouldn't normally buy graphic novels, but because I am such a fan of the BTTF world, I HAD to get this one. It is well written (it's written by Bob Gale - of course it is well written!) and the artwork is exquisite. I have just bought the sequel now - Continuum Conundrums - and advise any fan to do the same. To summarise, in 3 words - BUY. IT. NOW!!

Go Back to Back to the Future With This Great Collection of Tales
GREAT SCOTT! A great mix of tales set in and around the classic films. I didn't think there were more stories to be told about these characters, but I thought wrong, dude. I won't give anything away, but if you want to find out how Doc and Marty first met, where - sorry, when - Biff went to before giving himself the Almanac in 1955, and how and why Doc's mansion burned down, then you need to buy this book. So glad I found this!
