BOOM! Studios

From Muppet Wiki

BOOM! Studios is an independent comic book company founded in June 2005. BOOM! Studios has partnered with the Jim Henson Company to produce a series of comics based on Farscape and with Disney to produce several series based on The Muppets.

In addition to a direct comic book adaptation of The Muppet Show, Boom! is also doing related comics, mostly literary adaptations of the likes of Robin Hood and Peter Pan. In July 2008, Boom! editor-in-chief talked offhand about "things like Muppet Robin Hood, or the Three Muppeteers or whatever. They're talking to us about following sort of the paradigm they set up in the movies about classic stories retold with the Muppets."^[1]. That September, comopany co-founder Ross Richie echoed the concept at the Baltimore Comic Con: "The idea is not just to do The Muppet Show, but Muppet Robin Hood, Muppet Sleeping Beauty, Muppet Prince Charming, Muppet King Arthur, or titles like that... Our ongoing publishing plan over the next three years is to do the bulk of our stuff in that way." ^[2] Muppet comics editor Paul Morrissey also mentioned plans for a "Muppets King Arthur." ^[3]
