Fraggle Rock is an upcoming comic book series planned for spring 2010 by Archaia Studios Press based on the world of Fraggle Rock.
The Fraggle Rock comics will be published in an eight-inch by eight-inch format, a size that Archaia has used for its Mouse Guard series. The book will be an anthology series, with long and short stories. Archaia's Director of Development, Stephen Christy, says that the comic will include "new levels of interactivity that we're experimenting with. I know that sounds vague, but it's going to be really cool." [1]
Each issue will feature activity pages created by Katie Cook - such as teaching how to draw the character, how to make radish stamps, or how to build Doozer structures.[2]
