Issue Description

Set just six short years after the events of Back to the Future III, Marty McFly and The Doc once again embark on a time-travelling adventure! 
 
It's the year 1991, and Marty is still hanging around Doc's house in Hill Valley, now joined by Clara Clayton, and their two sons Jules and Verne. Marty's in junior college and is still trying to put together a rock band, but makes time for an adventure with his old pal Doc Brown. 
 
Marty is using his new keyring to play cat noises, part of a practical joke on the Brown family dog, Einstein. He is quickly attacked by the mutt and chased up a tree. Jules comes to Marty's rescue and they tell Doc about Einstein.  
 
After the dog interferes with Doc's latest invention, a housecleaning robot, the family realise that Einstein could be ill. It turns out to be cat-aracts (a disease which makes the dog view everything as if it were a cat). 
 
With the disease so rare that a medicine hasn't been made in years, Doc uncovers the DeLorean (despite the fact it was trashed in the third movie by a freight train) and goes back to the Prohibition era in 1920s along with Marty, in order to find a distiller where they can brew up a medicine and save Einstein from blindness!

Volume Description

The Back To The Future comics are based upon the characters seen in the cult hit movie series, Back To The Future. Both the films and the comic book series sees young Marty McFly and Dr Emmett Brown traveling through time sharing bizarre and exciting adventures along the way.

Dr Emmett Brown is the one responsible for the creation of the time machine, he spent many years planning out and developing the Flux Capacitor, which is what makes time travel possible.

However, in order for Marty or the Doc to time travel, they need to reach a speed of 88 miles per hour crossed with a nuclear reaction. So Dr Emmett Brown used a modified DeLorean as his time vehicle, which is the main piece of equipment used in their stories.

Many of the stories revolve around the time vehicle, and it creates much of the drama. For example, the first time Marty McFly traveled back to 1955, he had no plutonium to bring him back home again. Or again, in the old west when the fuel tank was pierced, and he therefore couldn't move the vehicle up to a speed of 88 miles per hour.

The comics are a little less techincal than the films are, but are still based on the same premise.
