review:
'Back to the Future: Untold Tales and Alternate Timelines' features stories by Back to the Future Screenwriter Bob Gale. It fill in some things we didn't know about Doc and Marty.
The framing story involves Doc Brown in the old West. He's got a couple young sons now and loves to tell them stories. He talks about how he first met Marty, and then what happened with Marty's dad shortly after Marty saved their marriage. We learn about some of the science Doc Brown was involved in, and how future Biff got more than he bargained for when he stole the Delorean.
This is the kind of book that probably should have come out 20+ years ago. Now it's only of interest to fans of the movie, and the stories come across as a bit juvenile. None of them have the pizzazz of the movies, and unless you've seen the movies, you'll miss quite a few in-jokes along the way. The art doesn't look much like the characters and is just kind of mediocre. Kind of like this whole graphic novel.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
