ALF Comics Magazines (Digests)

Post by samstokes80 »

Hey everyone!
I was wondering if anyone has the ALF Comics Magazines (also known as digests). There are 2, and they seem to be rarer, as I only occasionally find them on e-Bay and people try to sell them for much higher prices than any of the other comics.

If anyone has them, I would like to know if there are any stories in them that are not available in the regular issues of the comic. Since they are referred to as "digests," I'm assuming they are just reprints of stories from the other issues. If so, I'd just as soon not pay the extra money to purchase them.

If you want to see the covers of the issues in question, check these links:

I own them. To my knowledge they are all reprints of the larger comics, but I will have to dig them out to be sure.

I distinctly remember them being reprints of stories already published in the monthly ALF Comic from Marvel/Star... only smaller and grainier. Only go for them if you are a completist.

I normally am a completist, but since I'm back in school and living in an apartment, I don't feel that I currently have the room to be a completist! Maybe someday when I have more space, and money, I'll become more of a completist!

All the sources I've come across seem to imply that they are indeed reprints of other ALF stories, however if anyone has these and can tell me the story titles in the magazines, I will get that information posted on the Wiki.
