The Muppets Noir

In 2025, Dynamite Entertainment reimagined Jim Henson's beloved characters as hard-boiled denizens of a 1940s Los Angeles crime story in The Muppets Noir. This three-issue miniseries, written by Matthew Dow Smith and illustrated by the team of Stefano Martino and Igor Chimisso, casts Kermit as a down-on-his-luck detective and Miss Piggy as a dangerous femme fatale. It matters as a clever, affectionate genre mashup that honors both classic film noir tropes and the core personalities of the Muppets.
