Fraggle Rock Page - Books and Comics



These are all the Fraggle Rock books and comic books that I know of so far. The best place to find these books (excluding the annuals) is in used bookstores where they usually go for one or two dollars. They really aren't hard to find, and it's fun looking!

Most of the summaries were taken from the Library of Congress information given in each book.


PLEASE NOTE: I get all of my Fraggle Rock books (except for the Annuals) at used bookstores. Some are harder to find than others, but if you keep searching long enough you'll probably find them. I only have one annual and I got it from a friend.
