COMICS > Jim Henson's the Dark Crystal: Creation Myths #2

The Great Conjunction is at hand in this dramatic second volume of Archaia and The Jim Henson Company's prequel graphic novels that tell the origin of the Dark Crystal. Aughra, the beloved guardian of Thra, has gone into hiding, while her son, Raunip, leads a team of emissaries to the Crystal Castle. There they will bear witness as the visiting Urskeks attempt to use the Conjunction to power their voyage home. But pain and mistrust fostered by the group leads to events that will corrupt the world to its very core and transform the Urskeks into two distinct races: the gentle urRu and the terrifying Skeksis. Brian Froud, legendary fantasy artist and conceptual designer of Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal" film, returns to oversee this crucial chapter that reveals the tragic events that caused the Bright Crystal to darken and shatter. This book also includes an Afterword written by David Odell (screenwriter for "The Dark Crystal"), never-before-seen production stills from the film, and a Brian Froud concept sketch gallery!
