Anyone remember the Fraggle comic books?

[erniebert1234ss]

I certainly remember the MB comics, which I won't discuss in great detail here, but I do NOT remember the FR comic books.

I remember the Fraggle Rock comics. I even had one (the one with the metronome which the Fraggles thought was a device that made everything move faster).

I remember the Fraggle comics as well. I only had one issue though, and I can't remember which one I had. They looked like to me they wer baised on the animated series rather than the Muppet series.

I had the second issue (that had to do with Red's competitiveness I think) and #5 (the adaptation of "The Mean Genie")

I never knew there were comics? Was this around in the 80's? I grew up in the 90's.

Yup. Back in the mid 80s', Marvel Comics' kids comicbook series called Star Comics, produced 8 issues of Fraggle Rock. Issues 1 & 2 were original stories but 3 - 8 were just adaptations of the TV show ( umm. they were. " Believe It Or Not ", " All Work And All Play ", " Wembley And the Mean Genie " , " Gobo's School For Explorers ", " The Great Radish Caper " and the " bean-barrow race " episode of which I can't quite recall the title ( I just know it's a long title ) ). Then, when the Fraggle Rock cartoon aired in. '88, they re-released issus 1 - 5 again as just Marvel titles.

The artwork in the comics was pretty good even though I don't think the artist, Marie Severen ( or something like that ), put as much care into some of it as I would've preferred . :smirk:

Yeah, I'm a dork. ;)

Thats cool but wierd to see the Fraggles as cartoons.

[zeldazipple]

Yeah but I still liked it eventhough it wasn't nearly as nice as the Muppet version, but it was still cute to watch.

No need. Here they are, right on this site. http://www.muppetcentral.com/collectibles/fraggles/comics.shtml :smirk:

Hmmm. I think I wrote that info. Looks like I was a bit more pleased with the art back then. Not that the art is bad. In fact, it's good. It just sorta looks that it may have been " just a job " to the artist though.

[Knegoff]

Where are the scans? Can't see them. I meant scans of all pages. :)

Well that'd be a bit of work though, wouldn't it? :smirk:

[Knegoff]

Maybe it would be... Don't know, but Im willing to do it if there's anybody who wants to see them scanned.

[zeldazipple]

Well sure I think it would be fun to show them off.

I'd like to see the scans. Btw I have scans of a few of the Fraggle Rock books up on this site http://www.myspace.com/fragglestories. I started scanning in the books a few days ago thinking it wouldn't take all that long but it is a bit time consuming. Anyway go there, read them, have a good time. ;)

[Winslow Leach]

Yep, I sure remember Fraggle Rock comic books. The local 7-11 sold 'em. I remember purchasing Wembley and the Mean Genie (one of my favorite episodes) first, then collecting a few more of 'em. They seemed to be very popular as I recall, 'cause the store was often out of stock.

[muppet baby]

yes i do remeber them they where great i did not buy any though now i wish that had . i had sat and read some in a store though and loved them .

i wish they would do them again episally since the series is on dvd :)
