Augie Shumway

A kid who wandered into the zany world of Marvel's ALF comics right at the heart of the late-'80s Copper Age, Augie Shumway debuted in ALF #3 (1988), brought to life by the creative duo of Michael Gallagher and Dave Manak. Embedded in the Shumway family circle alongside Bob, Curtis, and Flo Shumway, Augie shares his comic-book life with the irrepressible alien ALF and Lynn Tanner, making for a wonderfully offbeat ensemble. With only three catalog appearances, he's a charming slice of that era when Marvel embraced licensed humor comics with genuine warmth — a small but authentic piece of late-'80s pop culture history for the devoted ALF collector.
