IT WAS A DARK AND FROGGY EVENING!
It's time to cue the music; it's time to dim the lights! It's time to get things started as the Muppets return tonight!
The show is about to begin at the famous Muppet Theatre, and the regular pre-curtain chaos has the troupe's stalwart MC, Kermit the Frog, coming apart at the seams. In an attempt to de-stress, he settles down to read a few pages of a favorite old detective novel - only to get kayoed by an errant brick to the bean, leaving him laid out backstage as his co-stars try to coax him back to consciousness.
But unbeknownst to them, Kermit has taken up the hard-boiled mantle of his fictional hero to walk the darkened streets of Dreamland, righting wrongs and cracking cases under the concealing cover of night. Flip Minnow, P.I., has no time for song and dance - not if he's going to solve the baffling mystery of the Snoozing Sleuth!
Legendary cartooning talent and Muppets comics veteran ROGER LANGRIDGE bellies up to the drawing table once more for an all-new tale of crime and pun-ishment with The Muppets Noir #1 - featuring clue-filled cover art from both the author and guest artist DECLAN SHALVEY, as well as an appropriately enigmatic DELUXE MYSTERY BLIND BAG! The Blind Bag contains two limited editions of the issue selected randomly from a range of variant covers exclusive to this offering - including a new original cover, colored blanks, and more! Please Note: The number of Blind Bags is limited, and allocations may occur.

SITTERSON & DOUGHERTY are holding a masterclass in rich, intricate worldbuilding that is equal parts Dune, Claremont, and SAGA while being wholly original." - ROBERT KIRKMAN (INVINCIBLE, THE WALKING DEAD)"One of the hardest parts of making a comic book is the intense task of worldbuilding. FREE PLANET shrugs off that pressure, fully fleshed out for characters to explore and readers to witness, proving that AUBREY and JED have what it takes to bring you to a place completely new and totally refreshing." - DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON (TRANSFORMERS, THE MOON IS FOLLOWING US)"With notes of Warhammer 40k and Firefly, FREE PLANET is lusciously rendered, dense, political sci-fi with a lot to say." - KIERON GILLEN (THE POWER FANTASY, THE WICKED + THE DIVINE)
