![]() I can also see some people struggling with the font, which is in that ‘script’ style. Be warned there are some spoilers for anyone who hasn’t seen the film, TV series or read the Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal Creation Myths: The Complete Collection graphic novels. The text is brief, with a few paragraphs at most for each character/creature. Much appreciated is having a side-by-side Skeksis and urRu spreads (though still no mention of the missing skekLi the Satirist and skekSa the Mariner – which is a shame, though perhaps they are being kept back in case Netflix ever decides to grant a second season of the TV series *pokes Netflix with a sharp stick to get the hint*) What’s more, it’s the most comprehensive collection of creatures we’ve had so far, with creatures from the film, TV series, Graphic Novels, Novels and Manga all brought together into one place. ![]() I feel like I’ve been waiting for a book like this for years.Ĭompared to “ The World of The Dark Crystal”, this is focused purely on the creatures, rather than delving into the ‘making of’ aspects of the film. So yes if you are a fan of the fantastic and love the world of the Dark Crystal this is certainly a book worth exploring. I will admit that I was a little disappointed when I saw this was not the direct creation of Brian Froud the imagination behind so many of the wild creatures however he did contribute to the book and you can certainly see his influence in the artwork. ![]() This book is a perfect example of that - a book published only last year which contains material from film, TV series, books and graphic novels alike this book is a definitive (until something else is added no doubt) guide to the creatures of Thea and the amazing characters you will meet in the world of the Dark Crystal. A tale that was much darker than many of his other creations and one which has had such a profound impact that it is still capturing peoples imagination today. I have to say that the Dark Crystal when I first saw the series was amazing - one of the crowning achievements of Jim Henson and his creature shop.
