Brian Froud, legendary conceptual designer of the beloved Jim Henson fantasy film The Dark Crystal, returns to the world he helped create in this official prequel trilogy to the cult-classic film. Collected for the first time in one oversized edition, this series reveals the definitive origins of the Skeksis, Mystics, Gelfling, and the Dark Crystal itself while introducing all new characters in an epic spanning thousands of years.
Written by Brian Holguin (Spawn: Origins), Joshua Dysart (Unknown Soldier), and Matthew Dow Smith (Doctor Who), and lushly illustrated by Alex Sheikman (Robotika) and Lizzy John (Fraggle Rock), Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths is a breathtaking return to the fantasy world that has captivated audiences for over thirty years.

The artwork is beautiful and the story is extraordinary!
When I first heard of this book, I thought it would be a great start for anyone interested in the dark crystal and boy was I right. It tells the story of the very beginning of thra, mother aughra, the urskeks and their separation to two beings. It really shed some light on the crystal and how it became famously known as "the dark crystal" and how the skeksis took control of it. Now to the artwork. The art is absolutely beautiful and it really shows how beautiful the world was before the events of the film. My only complaint is that it ended in three volumes when it deserves more. I want the story to go on until it reaches to the start of the movie because I want to know everything that happened before the film. But I'm still thankful for the writers and the artists for making this and telling a remarkable story of this fantasy masterpiece.
Graphic novel, not novel-novel
I didn't realize this is a graphic novel. Perfect for graphic fans, though.
Great illustrations!
Great book for Dark Crystal fans, people who like fantasy and artists.
