Muppet Peter Pan

So since we've got a short delay for Muppet Peter Pan, as it's now coming out mid-September, here's an interview I did at San Diego Comic Con re Muppet Peter Pan to help fill the time while you wait!

Excellent interview! I'm thrilled beyond belief for Peter Pan. Can't wait for next month!

The covers for issue 4 were just revealed on The Muppet Newsflash's TwitPig page:

They're both INCREDIBLE. And this pretty much confirms that Rizzo is Mr. Smee. Perfect casting and gorgeous covers. I am SO excited for this comic!

Oh, the covers for 4 are up now?

Cool, I'll post mine to dA later today.
I NEVER know when these things get released, so thanks for the heads-up

I was totally expecting my editor to reject my cover idea as being too sad, but they said DO IT! Rip their hearts out, whoooooo!

*laughs* Anytime I can give you the heads-up, I'll be glad to.

I'm SO glad they let you go with that cover. The Muppets aren't all about the silly--I'm glad they get to showcase their heart too. The cover is gorgeous. I love Kermit's legs and Piggy's limp leg... *sniff* It's so beautiful and sad. PERFECT.

Hearts are being shredded as you speak! I am a massive fan of Peter Pan (probably due to a lingering desire not to grow-up ) and that moment of selfishness followed by self-sacrifice by Tinkerbell is the defining moment of the books in my opinion. (Well, about as defining as the Peter Pan/Wendy thimble moment )

And also, it is great to see Kermit (Peter?) caring so completely about Miss Piggy -- after years of his somewhat shunning her in interviews and such.

Piggy throws herself at Kermit to this day and he just deals with it as best he can. I think if he actually responded to Piggy's advances his very LIFE would be in danger from her enthusiastic joy and pig-passion. So it could very well be that Kermit's just thinking of his own longevity when he sidesteps Piggy.

Despite all that, I always believed Kermit DOES care for Piggy very much. They're like an old married couple by now.

But yes, I'm very much up with keeping the heart in the Muppets as well. Just another reason why I love Roger's scripts so much. They all end on a very sweet caring moment.

All together!

Nuts... now I'm gonna have to start clapping to get Piggerbelle back to life, and I might damage the comic.

Also a keeper! I love the classic look of Hook -- Moustached, and caped with the long red coat...(Aptly mixed with a classic look Gonzo with hooked nose and straight bits...if that description makes any sense at all )

Janice as Wendy here looks like the Wendy we all know and love, sitting up straight and tall as she's rowed away to her doom. I'm interested to know whether we will see her with her eyes open...
