The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths

The Dark Crystal is an upcoming graphic novel series planned to launch in spring 2011 by Archaia Studios Press based on the world of The Dark Crystal. The prequel story will be released as two four-issue miniseries.

Brian Froud, the conceptual designer for the films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, will draw the covers for the project, and will serve as a "creative consultant" for the Henson line.

"To re-approach these characters has been wonderful," said Froud. "Shining through is the human heart, and that still stands up after all this time."
