Bob Shumway

Bob Shumway is a supporting character in Marvel's licensed ALF comic series, appearing as part of the human cast surrounding the Tanner family and their extraterrestrial houseguest, ALF.

Bob Shumway stepped onto the Marvel Comics scene in 1988, a Copper Age creation by Michael Gallagher and Dave Manak who found his niche in the pages of Marvel's charming ALF series. With just nine appearances spread across ALF, ALF Annual, and ALF Holiday Special, he's a supporting player in a beloved licensed universe, sharing those colorful pages with ALF himself and the entire Tanner family. For collectors who have a soft spot for the late-'80s era when Marvel embraced pop-culture tie-ins with genuine warmth and wit, Bob Shumway is one of those quietly satisfying finds — a small piece of a fun, fondly remembered corner of the Marvel catalog.
