The Original Comic Adaptation of Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal Returns!
The classic three issue 1983 comic book adaptation of Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal from writer David Anthony Kraft (The Savage She-Hulk) and artists Bret Blevins & Vince Colletta is lovingly restored and returned to print as part of the BOOM! Studios Archive Edition line!
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.
