Comic books in Film?

[srca1941]

I was just looking at the new Back to the Future 30th Anniversary Blu-Ray and spotted Prize's Headline Comics #67 (Sept.Oct. 1954) in the 1955 school cafeteria scene. I'll try to post a screen shot later, but it's being read by one of Biff's goons, the boy in the 3-D glasses, sitting at the table behind Loraine.

Thanks HG.

And you'll notice, whatever issue it is of the Surfer on the outside, when he gets to the inside, it's always issue #1.

What got me about those shots of Breathless that are up at the other site, was the one where he's reading a pristine copy of Silver Surfer and on the magazine rack behind him can be seen an issue of Starlog (which started being published in the late 1970s).

That is one fantastically preserved copy of Silver Surfer he's just casually reading there.

Just viewed the latest episode of the U.S. version of The Mysteries of Laura. In the final scene Laura's ex-husband is shown reading a comic to their twin boys. The title is clearly Super-Friends. What little I could see of the cover seems to indicate the original run.

I only watched the first episode of Laura. It was not the story or acting that drove me away. I just could not take her letting her kids run wild and do as they please. Maybe the comics will help straighten those kids out.

The kids were that wild only in the pilot. I'd have dumped it, too, if changes had not been made.

The show mostly now tells good procedural stories, with some reasonable character development.

Just ran across the film "London Belongs to Me", 1948. Starring a very young Richard Attenborough reading the British comic "Easy Pickings". You can easily see the Charles Atlas ad that we all know so well over here in the states.
Has anyone heard of this comic?
I did a a quick search and came up with nothing.
