Lynn Tanner

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

Part of the warm suburban world that made Marvel's ALF one of the more delightfully offbeat licensed comics of the late 1980s, Lynn Tanner debuted in 1988 courtesy of Michael Gallagher and Dave Manak, right in the heart of the Copper Age when Marvel was happily expanding into pop-culture tie-ins. Across 21 catalog appearances spanning ALF, ALF Annual, and more, she holds her own alongside the full Tanner household — Kate, Willie, Brian, and the irrepressible ALF himself, not to mention the perpetually imperiled Lucky. If you've got a soft spot for the era when Marvel comics could be found spinning in a grocery store rack, Lynn and her family are exactly the kind of charming, nostalgic find worth tracking down.
