History ComicBook / AlanFord

* BedlahBabe: In ''The Ring of Inshallah'', Alonisius' ring-induced hallucination include a busty BellyDancer in the expected attire trying to get his attention and showing him what he's supposed to do with the ring.

* BackFromTheDead: Superciuk somehow survives being SwallowedWhole by a shark. [[spoiler: Also, the Conspirer, somehow, managed to revive himself after being corroded into a pile of bones by a chemical mist. Also, Number One in volume 200 reveals that he faked his death.]]

* CoolGuns: Parodied when Grunf at one point threatens Bob Rock with a mix and match pistol with the handle of a Luger, the middle part of a Revolver and the barrel of a blunderbuss. When Alan tries to use it several volumes later it is promptly smashed to pieces with one slap.

* OffModel: While the art under Magnus was overall consistent, starting from Piffarerio onward not all the volumes are made by him (as explained by Bunker, his schedule doesn't allow him to work on every single issue and had to leave the work to his assistants), resulting in certain stories (such as ''Ipnos Suite'' and ''Here we Healx'') having cruder drawings of a normally unseen quality. Under Dario Perucca, the series has finally found a stable artstyle closer to Magnus's.

** Baroness Von Strascen is a gorgeous woman who gets a couple of shots of FullFrontalNudity, and even though it was a business scheme, still invokes a bit of LesYay by marrying Minuette in Las Vegas.

** Aptly-named [[ShesGotLegs Prettylegs]] Betty, a seductive lady with long, detailed legs.

* AnAxeToGrind: In both senses of the idiom, starting from the story ''The first thing to do is to kill all lawyers'' and the following four story arcs (focused on medics, insurers, accountants and dentists) we have the recurring plot of someone murdering people of the above-mentioned jobs by whacking them over the head with an axe, leaving the weapon stuck there and carrying around a huge amount of spare hatchets. At least in the first volume, the man behind the murders was [[spoiler: essentially a computer program left behind by a failed invetor who lost all his money because of a lawyer.]]

Set in a DeliberatelyMonochrome WorldOfHam, the comic tells of the wacky exploits of Group TNT, a non-government secret agency based in a dilapidated, flowerless flower shop on [[BigRottenApple Fifth Avenue, New York City]]. TheyFightCrime with no money, competence or regard to the law, yet are surprisingly effective and have a large, if silly, RoguesGallery.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: After the big turn of 2005, the tone of the story changed entirely, focusing more on Alan and Minuette.

** Wurdalak's servants, Kott and Krud, not only angers their masters with their ineptitude, but also mistakenly [[IAteWhat drink all the blood reserves of the castle, mistaking them for wine]], which makes Wurdalak angry enough to feed on them and call it a day.

* BadBoss: Most villains have a knack for killing their own henchmen when they outlive their usefulness, but most notably Baron Wurdalak, after finding out that his dimwitted servants drank all the blood in the castle (thinking it was [[IAteWhat red wine.]])
