Back to the Future #18

IDW's Back to the Future #18 (2017) opens on a tense, intimate moment: a wide-eyed Doc Brown, wild white hair and visor pushed up on his forehead, recoils at his own doorway as a mysterious silhouetted figure — hat and all — stands backlit in the threshold, one gloved hand reaching forward. The cover art by Marcelo Ferreira perfectly captures that mix of shock and unease that defines Doc at his best, drawing you in with a single charged exchange before a word of the story is read. With Bob Gale and John Barber scripting "Stowaway to the Future," this issue promises the kind of unexpected visitor that tends to complicate things considerably.
