Lorraine McFly

Lorraine McFly is the comics adaptation of the iconic character from the Back to the Future franchise — Marty McFly's mother, originally a shy teenager in 1955 Hill Valley who fell for George McFly, and whose family life anchors the time-travel adventures.

Stepping straight from one of pop culture's most beloved stories into the pages of IDW's comic universe, Lorraine McFly made her comics debut in Back to the Future #3 in 2015, brought to life by the creative team of Bob Gale, John Barber, and Corin Howell. A Modern Age addition to the franchise's mythology, she holds her own in a world populated by familiar faces — sharing adventures with the likes of Marty McFly, George McFly, Doc Brown, Biff Tannen, and Dave McFly across both Back to the Future and Back to the Future: Biff to the Future. Her eight catalog appearances may be compact, but they place her squarely within IDW's affectionate, fan-focused expansion of a cherished universe. For collectors who love seeing beloved fictional worlds explored on the comics page, Lorraine is a welcome presence in this spirited 2015–2017 run.
