Originally, the first series was to be drawn by [[Martin Taras|Marty Taras]], the creator of [[Baby Huey]], and the cover of the first published issue of the ''Fraggle Rock'' comic is done by him. Also, at least one penciled page of his Fraggle work for that first issue has been preserved in print.<ref>Marvel Age, The Official Marvel News Magazine, Volume 1, Issue 19, October 1984</ref> However the art assignment for the series finally went to [[Marie Severin]], who illustrated all eight-issue interiors and the other seven covers. The second series lasted six issues. In early 2010, [[Archaia Studios Press]] published its first three-issue series of ''Fraggle Rock.'' A second three-issue series was followed in January 2011. Both series were collected into hardcover editions shortly after their respective publications. A four-issue miniseries ''Fraggle Rock: Journey to the Everspring'' was published in 2014. A third three-issue miniseries was published in 2018. ===Other televised appearances=== * Before its background appearance on Fraggle Rock, Food (a small, brown, alien creature) first appeared on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' during "[[The Land of Gorch]]" sketch. It was later recycled as Zsa Zsa Porkmustard in the "Science Fiction" episode of ''[[The Jim Henson Hour]]'' as well as an undersea creature cameo in the "Aquatic Life" episode. * Uncle Traveling Matt appears in ''[[The Muppets Take Manhattan]]'', seated in Piggy's wedding party during the play where he is in the same section as the bears that Fozzie Bear was hibernating with. * There was a special featuring the Fraggles called ''Fraggles Look for Jobs'' which details the Fraggles after the show had ended.
