Vintage ALF Mission to Mars (1987), Robert Loren Fleming | Ken Kimmelman Illustrated, TV Tie-In Children’s Sci-Fi Humor Picture Book

$19.99$0.00

This is ALF: Mission to Mars, a 1987 Checkerboard Press softcover picture book written by Robert Loren Fleming, with cover and illustrations by Ken Kimmelman.

The covers show light to moderate shelf wear with small scuffs and edge and corner wear, while the pages shown are clean and bright with strong color, as the photos show.

ALF gets it into his furry head that he is headed to Mars, and the Tanner family is left to deal with the fallout, starting with an empty refrigerator. The pages shown follow ALF from the Tanner kitchen to a long tryout line at a studio, drawn in bold cartoon colors.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
