In 1983, Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal had its very own three issues comic book adaptation. The comics from David Anthony Kraft, restored with art by Bret Blevins and Vince Colletta, is returning to print from BOOM! Studios Archive Editions. The first issue comes back to print July 3, 2024.
Here’s the synopsis:
A thousand years ago. The planet Thra. Two new races appeared when a Shard was shattered from the Crystal of Truth: the cruel Skeksis, who use continued corruption of the Crystal to extend their lives, and the gentle urRu, more commonly known as Mystics, who make their home in the Valley of Stones to await their destiny.
A young orphaned Gelfling named Jen is sent on a quest to heal the Crystal…but enemies aren’t all he’ll find in the wild.
