Fraggle Rock (Marvel)

In 1985-1986 Star Comics, a division of Marvel Comics, produced a comic book series based on the TV program Fraggle Rock. The series lasted only 8 issues. The first 2 issues were original stories, but starting with issue three, they switched to comic adaptations of episodes from the HBO series - however the titles were often changed along with some minor plot and story details.

Stan Kay wrote all 8 issues. And all artwork was done by Marie Severin (with exception to the coverart of issue 1). Marie would go on to do the two page Fraggle Rock comics found in later issues of Muppet Magazine.

When the animated series debuted, Marvel reprinted the series in 1988 (without the Star comics logo). Unfortunately the reprint series only made it to issue 5.

Issue 1
The Magic Time Machine: In this original story Gobo ends up stealing a metronome from Doc's workshop. The device gets stuck in the on position and begins going faster and faster, causing the Fraggles and Doozers to also move (and work) at increasing speeds.

Issue 2
