In Back to the Future after Marty crashes into old man Peabody's barn, Peabody's kid holds up a copy of Tales From Space #8 to show pop that it aint no airplane. Not a real comic book, but still an effective use of the medium. According to the DVD commentary, the creators don't know who has it, or if it still exists, but if you do, check out my sig. This is a one of a kind grail, literally.
In the Goonies, Mikey is seen reading a Mad Magazine. There is also a deleted scene where Mikey solves the fold-in cover---later he has to fold the map to reveal a clue. If you'd like to argue that Mad Magazine is not a comic book go ahead--you're an insufficiently_thoughtful_person, but go ahead.
I also remember an episode of the New Leave it to Beaver (from the 80s) where Ms Cleaver threw away the boy's copy of Fantastic Four #1. I seem to recall a scene where they were even at the dump sifting through piles of garbage ( it was worth $1000!). I can remember thinking, what's more sad, that FF 1 in the garbage, or Wally and the Beav living with mom in their 40s.
Along the lines of Tales From Space #8, Is the Hellboy from the movie that looks like a SA Marvel real or is that a mock-up?
