Alf #2A (Marvel Comics 1988)

Alfred T. Hansen—better known as ALF—appears in issue #2A of Marvel Comics’ 1988 series, presenting three serialized adventures written by Michael Gallagher and rendered by illustrators Dave Manak and Marie Severin.

This comic book edition adapts the NBC sitcom and accompanying cartoons that ran from 1986 to 1990, translating the Alien Life Form’s interactions with the Tanner family into sequential art. Each segment targets a different comedic scenario while maintaining continuity with the broader character lineup:

• "All’s Fair": An anti-gravity belt malfunction creates structural issues during Brian’s school day.
• "All My Life’s a Cycle": ALF shares extended backstory concerning his undercover assignment on Melmac with Will and Kate.
• "Jungle Love": The family travels to Jungle Trails Park, requiring ALF to navigate park attractions while wearing a disguise.

Originally released with a cover price of $1.00, this title serves as a complete collection within the early Marvel run. The interior panels separate the three narratives cleanly, allowing collectors to track individual script pacing alongside the evolving illustration style. Buyers searching for a single-issue reference or building a series portfolio will find complete creator attribution, uninterrupted story progression, and faithful dialogue adaptation matching the original television transcripts.
