Again, fine stories, but I might have enjoyed it more if I were someone more familiar with Fraggle Rock.

My Review:
Based on Jim Henderson's Fraggle Characters. Many of which those in my age group grew up in the 70's & 80's watching as cartoons. That is the main reason I wanted to review "Fraggle Rock Classics Volume 2". A chance to return to my childhood.
The illustrations are clear and concise with bold colors that capture the eye of the reader. The stories are truly classics which many will remember. It may be part of the summer and after-school cartoons, but the fun in reading them is still there. You do not have to be 10 to have fun with comic today. Pick up a copy and take a stroll down Memory Lane.
I gave "Fraggle Rock Classics Volume 2" a 4 out of 5 stars rating. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Fraggle Rock Classics Volume 2 reprints the second half of the original comic run from 1985. It also adds a few new comics in to round out the package. It holds up really well, and would be a great read for a young kid who likes comics.
The Fraggles adventures here include a journey to become a great explorer, a trek to steal a really large radish (which might be somebody's friend), and the troubles caused by a mischievous genie. The stories are all fun and have some lessons for the Fraggles (and unsuspecting readers) to learn.
Marie Severin's art in the original stories is restored in wonderful eye-popping color. The newer stories included are one offs. The art style is quite a bit different, but the stories are still fun. I enjoyed these stories.

*I received this comic book as an eARC from Archaia Entertainment on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
This graphic novel collects reprints of the 1985 Fraggle Rock comic as well as two newer stories from the past few years. In one if the stories, Mokey teaches Junior about friends. In another, Red makes friends with Lanford, Mokey 'a pet plant. One if the newer stories centers around Halloween.
If you're a fan of Fraggle Rock, you will enjoy this collection. I liked the two newer stories more than the 1985 reprints because I liked their different art styles. I give this graphic novel a 4/5. If there's a Fraggle Rock fan in your life this would make a great gift.

I was less than enthralled with this volume, picking it up off and on for the week. The stories seemed a little weaker overall, although they did develop a bit more of the Grog characters, which is a nice touch. But there was one story, about a race and a navigating plant, that made almost no sense whatsoever. The art is standard 80's Marvel kid quality, although the collection does include two modern stories, which aren't bad (although the art on one of them feels off too). All told, it's not as memorable as the first volume, but it's still more Fraggles for those interested.
Shelved as 'graphic-novels'
