How’s this for unexpected? Roger Langridge is back making a brand-new Muppet comic book! Langridge has written and illustrated The Muppets Noir, with issue #1 set for release on February 16, 2026. It’s not clear so far whether will be a multi-part series or just a one-issue special, but at any rate, more Muppet comics is always welcome.
The issue is described as such:
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!
The comic will also feature a special varient cover by Declan Shalvey:
There will also be availible a “Blind Bag” containing special and exclusive cover variants as well.
