Kate Tanner

Kate Tanner is a member of the Tanner family in Marvel's all-ages ALF comic series, sharing her home with the wisecracking alien ALF alongside Willie, Lynn, Brian, and Lucky.

A warm corner of Marvel's Copper Age belongs to Kate Tanner, who made her comics debut in 1988 courtesy of creators Michael Gallagher and Dave Manak. Part of the household at the heart of Marvel's ALF series, she shares those cheerful pages with the likes of ALF himself, Willie, Lynn, Brian, and Lucky across a cozy run that stretched into 1990. With 22 catalog appearances spread across the main series and its annuals, Kate is a genuine piece of that era's all-ages Marvel charm — the kind of character who reminds collectors that the House of Ideas had a wonderfully broad tent during the Copper Age.
