Just spoke to my brother, Comic book artist William Clausen, who sent me these pages for Alf. This mini comic will be distributed at the panel on Richard Alf, co-founder of the San Diego Comic Convention with Shel Dorf, which will be chaired by William.
The Alf comic started out as a comic that was included free with any order from Richard Alf‘s Comic Kingdom. My brother ordered Iron man #97 and received his copy around 1975.
Here is the history of the Alf Comic…
Alf #0 Unpublished-Steve Garris
Alf#1-Steve Garris-10 cents-intro by Wesley Ford-publisher Richard Alf 1975
Alf #2 Marvin Nelson publisher Valhalla 50 cents
Alf #3 by William Clausen,lettered by Leiulf Clausen 2012-published by Liquid Star Comics
….next year part 4 by Clayton Moore
I will post The first and second books in their entirety tomorrow.Today’s offerings are the raw scans from part of Alf #3 which I will adjust (in Photoshop), apply lettering and layout to fit 8 pages on an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet (InDesign), which will then be folded and cut into one “Elf-sized issue” like the others. The Alf panel to honor Richard will be held at this years event (mid July) so I guess I should go get started. TA!




Great job, Bro’
