The Muppet Show: The Comic Book

A twelve-issue series from Boom! Studios (2009–2010), this comic captures the chaotic, vaudevillian spirit of the Muppets as they stage their beloved variety show on the page. Writers and artists Roger Langridge, Shelli Paroline, and Amy Mebberson bring Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the gang to life with slapstick humor and heartfelt gags. The series even sneaks in guest appearances from Darkwing Duck and his alter ego Drake Mallard, adding a playful crossover element. It matters as a faithful, laugh-out-loud adaptation that extended the Muppets' reach into comics during a vibrant era for licensed titles.
