Red Fraggle to make Free Comic Book Day appearance
If you’re in the Los Angeles area for Free Comic Book Day, you could meet a Fraggle Rock Fraggle.
Archaia, which is publishing a Free Comic Book Day flipbook of “Fraggle Rock” and “Mouse Guard,” announced that Red Fraggle will make a FCBD appearance at Meltdown Comics in L.A. on May 1.
Red and world-renowned puppeteer Karen Prell appear courtesy of The Jim Henson Company, Lionsgate Home Entertainment, Archaia Entertainment and Meltdown Comics.
“This is such a nice treat for fans, and we couldn’t be happier to be able to work with the great folks at The Jim Henson Company, Lionsgate and Meltdown to make this possible,” said Archaia Marketing Manager Mel Caylo in a news release. “Karen and Red’s appearance at San Diego Comic-Con was highly anticipated and well attended, so we’re excited for them to come to Los Angeles and share their special magic in celebration of the release of our Free Comic Book Day issue.”
Archaia’s Mouse Guard/Fraggle Rock Free Comic Book Day flip book will feature a Fraggle Rock story by writer Sam Humphries and artist Jeremy Love. Both Humphries and Love will be on-hand at Meltdown on FCBD.
Also in the flip book will be an original Mouse Guard story by David Petersen, and another Fraggle Rock story, written by Nichol Ashworth and drawn by Jake Myler (Undertown).
Red Fraggle is one of the five main characters of the “Fraggle Rock” TV show, an award-winning television series launched by The Jim Henson Company in 1983.
The event begins at 11 a.m. local time on May 1, 2010 at Meltdown Comics (7522 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, Calif. 90046, (323) 851-7223, www.meltcomics.com).
