About the author

Jeffrey Brown was born in 1975 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and grew up reading comic books with dreams of someday drawing them, only to abandon them and focus on becoming a 'fine artist.' While earning his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Brown abandoned painting and began drawing comics with his first autobiographical book 'Clumsy' in 2001. Since then he's drawn a dozen books for publishers including TopShelf, Fantagraphics, Drawn & Quarterly, McSweeney's and Chronicle Books. Simon & Schuster published his latest graphic memoir 'Funny Misshapen Body.' In addition to directing an animated video for the band Death Cab For Cutie, Brown has had his work featured on NPR's 'This American Life' His art has been shown at galleries in New York, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles and Paris. Jeffrey's work has also appeared in the Best American Comics series and received the Ignatz Award in 2003 for 'Outstanding Minicomic.'
He currently lives in Chicago with his wife Jennifer and their son Oscar.

Reviews

Really cool, reminded me of the wee stories I read when I was young - and of course the wonderful TV show.

[R · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fun read! I like the variety of illustrations. The heart of Fraggle Rock is definitely here.

[Tiffany · Rating 2 out of 5]

I found this and felt a wave of nostalgia for my childhood, so I bought it to dive back into the world of the Fraggles. Sadly, I think that world has passed me by. I couldn't get much into the stories being told and the artwork was..ok. I'm a bit sad that things from my childhood aren't holding up in my mind, but perhaps the show would be better for that than this book.

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Heartfelt and nostalgia inducing, this is a children’s book that will appeal to anyone who followed the old series. All the characters of the show appear and they are just as fun as in their original form.
