1992: A.L.F Issue 50 (Marvel Comics)


From February 1992: the finale of the American A.L.F (Alien Life Form), the one-time Marvel best-seller which also spawned the British edition (which rolled into the pages of THE MARVEL BUMPER COMIC).

The TV series had been canned in March 1990, after four seasons and a hundred-odd (depending how you split them) episodes, so Marvel did well to keep the comic going as long as it did.  

The A.L.F animated series ran between 1987 and 1989, joined by spin-off A.L.F TALES between 1988 and 1989.  A.L.F overkill?  

The show was briefly revived in the 1996 TV movie PROJECT: A.L.F which, bizarrely, didn't feature any of the sitcom's supporting cast.
