Farscape (comic book)

In April 2008 it was announced that the Jim Henson Company had partnered with BOOM! Studios to produce a series of "Farscape" comics.

Series creator Rockne O'Bannon returned to develop the stories. Developed by O'Bannon and scripted by "Farscape" novelist Keith DeCandido, the artwork for the first mini-series, "The Beginning of the End of the Beginning" is being handled by Tommy Patterson while Will Sliney is doing the art for the second mini-series, "Strange Detractors". The comic series picks up immediately where the "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" television miniseries left off. The Farscape comic series has been accepted as official canon by both O'Bannon and the Henson Company.

The first issue, part of an initial four-part miniseries, was released on December 24, 2008.

"It’s so exciting to work with BOOM! Studios on this project knowing that their team members are true fans of the show, working with one of our favorite comic publishers, we know our loyal supporters will enjoy these original adventures while new audiences will have a fantastic introduction to the Farscape universe."
