The Muppets Noir #1 Sneak Peek!

The Muppets are making their comic book return next month as Dynamite Entertainment launches The Muppets Noir, a brand-new series from acclaimed Muppets comic creator Roger Langridge. 

We did some investigating and uncovered an early sneak peek at the first issue. The case files are open—check the first few pages as well as the official description. 

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 favourite 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 case breaks wide open on February 18th, 2026, when The Muppets Noir #1 hits your local comic shop.

MUPPETS NOIR #1

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.

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!

Here's the official synopsis:

Writer Adam Smith (Jim Henson’s Labyrinth 2017 Special) and rising-star artist Alexandria Huntington unveil a new sequel to the hit film as Kensho arrives at the Crystal Castle where he was once a lowly acolyte and is asked to accept the responsibility as leader of Thra. But he will have to rectify sins of the past before he can decide if he - or anyone - is fit to rule. Meanwhile, the realm of Mithra is being rebuilt by the newly-crowned Ember Queen Thurma, whose own quest to decide the future of her land is thrown into question when another Fireling makes a claim as the true heir to the throne.

Variant cover by Ramón K. Pérez

“The Dark Crystal is undeniably about wonder and hope, a fantastical world to be explored and saved from evil,” said writer Adam Smith in a press release. “In Beneath the Dark Crystal, we're so excited to continue that exploration to the world beneath Thra, Mithra. The Jim Henson Company has always told undeniably human stories wrapped in magic and mysticism, and we hope that readers will not just join us, but connect in some way, to a new world of hope and wonder. The next stage of Thurma and Kensho's relationship is a very human story, just with Firelings, Gelfling, and a very powerful Light.”
