Captain's Library BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT COMIC BOOK "Bob Spelled Backwards..." Part 1

Here's the only never-reprinted issue from Marvel's sequel series to the second Bill & Ted movie...

...between issues #7 and #9, regular writer/artist Evan Dorkin missed the deadline, resulting in this...unusual...story in Marvel's Bill & Ted's Excellent Comic #8 (1992)...

We take a most-arbitrary break in the tale at this point, with the most profound advisory that you be here...
TOMORROW
...for the most totally-startling conclusion...sort of...of all!

Back in the day, comic book publishers actually cared about getting a book out on a regular monthly (or bi-monthly) schedule, no matter what the circumstances!

As a precaution, most titles had an "inventory" or "fill-in" story on-hand to stick into the production cycle if the regular writer/artist team couldn't finish on time.

The most important thing was that the fill-in story couldn't change any aspect of the already-existing story so that the ongoing plotline could continue where it left off!

So usually, the inserted tale was a flashback, dream, or an unimportant event occurring between the two regular issues.

In this case, time travel took care of not screwing up the continuity!

Captain's Library BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

.....the truly most superlative William "Bill" S. Preston, Esq and Ted "Theodore" Logan are assisted by temporal traveller Rufus in creating oral reports that will keep them from flunking out of high school, thereby changing history since, if they flunk out, their band, Wyld Stallyns, will never form, and their music won't save the world!
Rufus uses his time machine, disguised as a phone booth...

(No, not that phone booth!)

...to grab famous figures from history!

And if you want more of an explanation than that, you obviously have never seen either of the previous films, the animated or live-action TV series, the comics, and/or the video games!

Well, that's a matter of opinion...

Think that's all the never-reprinted Bill & Ted stuff?

Wrong!

Tomorrow, see the "missing" totally-resplendent Bill & Ted Excellent Comic Book tale that was not included in Marvel's Bill and Ted's Excellent Comic Book Archive!

...they were appearing on both Nintendo Entertainment Systems and GameBoy consoles!

But before that...

Bill and Ted try to write a history report, desperate to pass at least one class or they will flunk out of high school and Ted's father will transfer him to an Alaskan military academy,

Rufus, a temporal traveler from the year 2688, arrives to provide them a time machine which allows them to travel back in time and meet historical figures in order to learn about key historical events.

If Bill and Ted fail to pass, their teacher will have to flunk them and  which will lead to their band, Wyld Stallyns never forming, in turn destroying a Utopian future built around their music.

The dim duo travel back in time, grabbing Napoleon Bonaparte, leaving him with Ted's brother, then retrieving Western gunfighter Billy the Kid...

You'll see the most-outrageous conclusion...

Captain's Library BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE Part 1

To celebrate the most wondrous release of the first Bill & Ted movie in almost 30 years...

...here's the heinously-never-reprinted comics adaptation of their first movie from more than 30 years ago!

Talk about boggling the mind...

Needless to say, this most-magnificent tale continues...

TUESDAY!

If the adaptation looks almost like a MAD magazine spoof, that's because MAD artist Angelo Torres was second only to fellow MAD artist Mort Drucker at doing dead-on likenesses!

The fact DC (who did this movie adaptation) owned MAD might have been the reason Torres was able to do this despite his exclusive contract!

BTW, this comic was not released as a movie tie-in, but as a video tie-in when the flick was released to home video!
