===Publishing===

Among other print media, the Muppets have featured in [[comics]] since the 1970s. An eponymous [[comic strip]] by [[Guy Gilchrist|Guy and Brad Gilchrist]] first ran on September 21, 1981, in over 500 daily newspapers, six months after ''The Muppet Show'' ended its five-year run. By the end of its run in 1986, the comic strip was seen in over 660 newspapers worldwide. Many of the strips were compiled in various book collections.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gilchrist|first=Guy|title=Muppets from the 1980s...|url=http://www.guygilchristmusic.com/fr_muppetscomics.cfm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130404012843/http://www.guygilchristmusic.com/fr_muppetscomics.cfm|archive-date=2013-04-04|access-date=17 June 2013}}</ref> Special strips were also created in color, exclusively for issues of ''Muppet Magazine''.

''Muppet Magazine'' was published from 1983 to 1989. The magazine was presented as being run by the Muppets themselves and included such features as celebrity interviews and comic stories.<ref>{{cite news|last=Dougherty|first=Philip H.|title=ADVERTISING; Muppet Magazine In Cheerios Promotion|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/04/07/business/advertising-muppet-magazine-in-cheerios-promotion.html|access-date=17 June 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=7 April 1983|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150524135019/http://www.nytimes.com/1983/04/07/business/advertising-muppet-magazine-in-cheerios-promotion.html|archive-date=May 24, 2015|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

The only Muppets film adapted as a [[comic book]] was ''The Muppets Take Manhattan''. The [[The Muppets Take Manhattan#Marketing|comic book series]] was adapted by [[Marvel Comics]] in 1984, as the 68-page story in ''[[Marvel Super Special]]'' issue #32. The adaptation was later re-printed into three limited series issues, released under Marvel's [[Star Comics]] imprint (November 1984 – January 1985).

In the wake of ''[[Muppet Babies (1984 TV series)|Muppet Babies]]''{{'}} success, Star Comics adapted the series into a [[Muppet Babies (1984 TV series)#Comics|bi-monthly title]], of which 26 issues were produced.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.comics.org/series/3033/ |title=GCD :: Series :: Muppet Babies |website=Comics.org |date=1989-01-23 |access-date=2020-04-27}}</ref>

The final issue of ''[[Disney Adventures]]'', released in 2007, included a one-page strip by [[Roger Langridge]]. In 2009, [[Boom! Studios]] began publishing a [[The Muppet Show (comics)|series of comic books]] based on ''The Muppet Show'', written and illustrated by Langridge. After two mini-series, an ongoing series, ''The Muppet Show Comic Book'', was published for eleven issues. Additionally, Boom! Studios published fairy tale adaptations centered on the Muppets. In 2012, the Langridge series was transferred to Marvel Comics, which released an omnibus edition in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|title=Marvel and Disney Publishing Worldwide launch Disney•Muppets Presents giant-sized comic|url=http://marvel.com/news/story/15605/meet_the_muppets|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130128081929/http://marvel.com/news/story/15605/meet_the_muppets|url-status=dead|archive-date=28 January 2013|publisher=[[Marvel Comics]]|access-date=27 December 2012}}</ref>
