Oh man, I loved watching The Dark Crystal when I was a kid. It had the right mix of fantasy, horror, and action that kept a young lad like myself entranced for hours.
TokyoPop and The Jim Henson Company have teamed up to release a new graphic novel based on the movie, and it’s coming this holiday season!
Legends of The Dark Crystal: The Garthim Wars, the all-new manga prequel to The Dark Crystal, Henson’s classic tale of good vs. evil. Written by Barbara Randall Kesel (Meridian), with illustrations by Heidi Arnhold & Max Kim and a special cover painted by Jae-Hwan Kim (Warcraft, War Angels, King of Hell), Legends of The Dark Crystal: The Garthim Wars provides a unique opportunity to further explore this unparalleled world,manga-style!
According to both companies, this is a project that is taken quite seriously on both sides, so I can’t imagine this graphic novel being a stinker.
