"Dance your cares away, Worry's for another day. Let the music play, Down at Fraggle Rock."  If I was making a soundtrack to my life this would definately be a good song to cover my childhood.  If you were a child of the '80's then there Fraggle Rock was a part of your childhood.  Now The Jim Henson Company and Archaia are bring back this old school favorite in the form of a comic book.  They have announced that the first Fraggle Rock comic will be out in comic book shops this April. Issue 1 (of 3) will be available for pre-order in Previews!

 

To add to the nerdy fun Archaia's will be contributing to Free Comic Book day with a flip book that will include Fraggle Rock and Mouse Guard for free on May 1, 2010.

 

"All of us at Archaia are so proud of how Fraggle Rock is turning out," said Stephen Christy, Director of Development for Archaia. "We're taking a lot of unique approaches with this series, from launching it in our popular 8" x 8" Mouse Guard format to bringing in incredibly talented indie creators such as Jeffrey Brown, creator of Incredible Change-Bots, and Jeremy Love, creator of Bayou, to share their visions of this classic Jim Henson Company creation. We're working very hard to make sure this book is a fresh take for fans of the show and will also appeal to new audiences, and I'm excited that readers will be able to fully dive into the world of Fraggle Rock with issue #1 in April and our Free Comic Book Day special in May!"

 

"'Fraggle Rock' has devoted fans who have told us they want more adventures from Gobo and the gang and we know Archaia is the perfect partner to tell these new stories," said Melissa Segal, The Jim Henson Company's Sr. Vice President, Global Consumer Products. "With exceptional attention to detail and excellent storytelling, Archaia is especially suited to introduce Fraggles to young readers who may be meeting these characters and their fantastical world for the first time."
