Richie Rich, the Walrus and the Carpenter, and classic Fraggle Rock

June 27, 2011 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Tim O’Shea talks to Roger Langridge (The Muppet Show comics, Thor: Mighty Avenger) about his newest project, Snarked, which picks up where Lewis Carroll’s “The Walrus and the Carpenter” left off. The interview winds up with a preview of the comic, which will be released in August. At Comics Alliance, Caleb Goellner also has a chat with Langridge, about his inspiration for the story and why he feels Lewis Carroll’s work is timeless.

Archaia is following up its Fraggle Rock anthologies with some digitally remastered reprints of Marvel’s Fraggle Rock comics from the 1980s.

Sean Kleefeld gets his hands on a list of the top ten comics checked out of a school library and finds a lot to like there.

“Comics for Kids” is the theme of the latest Deconstructing Comics podcast, which features a conversation with Buddy Scalera, who is writing the new Richie Rich comics for Ape Entertainment, Ape co-publisher Brent Erwin, and Rashad Doucet, creator of My Dog is a Superhero.
