ALF in Look-In?

Post by Bring Back ALF »

Anyone in the UK remember Look-In magazine?! I doubt it and I guess im showing my age but it was one of my weekly comics in the 70’s and early 80‘s, I used to love reading it. They had there own home grown artist writing and drawing comic strips based on popular shows of the time. Everyone from Benny Hill, Chips and the The Fall Guy were featured in their own double page spread every week sometimes for many months or years.

I stopped buying Look-In around 1984 and have recently discovered that around the time ALF arrived on our screens in the UK (1987) Look-In featured a weekly comic strip of our favourite alien.

Does anyone have any of the ALF strips or know how long the ALF strip was featured? I would love to see some of them, all I could find on a Google search was these images.

I am doing an appeal for them on my site this month. :D

That very edition of Look-In is on ebay (UK) as I write. (Other auction sites are available.)
