About the Author

James Maury "Jim" Henson (September 24, 1936 – May 16, 1990) was an American puppeteer, artist, cartoonist, Imagineer, inventor, screenwriter, film director and producer, best known as the creator of The Muppets. As a puppeteer, Henson performed in various television programs, such as Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, films such as The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper, and created advanced puppets for projects like Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. He was also an Academy Award-nominated film director (for his short film Time Piece), Emmy Award-winning television producer, and the founder of The Jim Henson Company, the Jim Henson Foundation, and Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Brian Froud is known worldwide as the preeminent faery artist of our time. He has published over twenty-five books, including the best selling Faeries, Lady Cottington’s Pressed Faery Book, and many more. Brian and his wife Wendy have just Trolls, a major hardcover book published by Abrams Books. Brian worked with Jim Henson for many years and was the designer for the iconic films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Brian’s art is represented in collections throughout the world and can be seen at Amazing Fine Art in New York. Born in the USSR, Alex Sheikman immigrated to the US at the age of 12 and shortly thereafter discovered comic books. Since then, he has contributed illustrations to a variety of role playing games published by White Wolf, Holistic Design, and Steve Jackson Games. He is also the writer and artist of Robotika, Robotika: For a Few Rubles More, Moonstruck and a number of short stories. He lives in Northern California.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than the film
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2017

Let's face it. The Dark Crystal is not a coherent film. It has great visuals, designs and music, but the plot was void and incomplete. Which is a shame because Jim Henson crafted a gorgeous fictional world. Creation Myths fixes that problem. It presents this fantastical world that also has events happening. Creation Myths is perfect for fans of the film and also want to know more about this world.

This graphic novel is a great addition to the Dark Crystal series, the stories within giving more life to it as a whole. The artwork gives the comic more life. This comic begins the story of the planet, Thra, with its creation and folklore as told by Gelflings. I recommend this comic to fans of the Dark Crystal.

After canceling the first attempted order from another seller, I noticed the price went up to $150, and was miraculously in-stock again. I found it offered by this company and purchased the item, with NO issues. My daughter has been waiting for this (after getting Vol. 2 & 3), for months. She LOVES the art and the story. Great product from a fair company.

Quando eu assisti ao filme, lançado no Brasil em 1983, estava saindo da minha primeira infância e fiquei um pouco assustado com a experiência. Ao mesmo tempo, maravilhado com os cenários e os personagens mais fantásticos como jamais havia visto. Este livro não se trata de mais de um daqueles recorte-e-cola de cenas do filme, na forma de um gibi.

A história é completamente nova, retratando acontecimentos que teriam ocorrido antes da tragédia que tornou o cristal negro. Não é necessário ser fã, nem ter assistido ao filme. Desenhos de qualidade de verdadeiras pinturas colocam você em um mundo encantado, com três sóis e personagens do tipo das estranhas fadas de Brian Froude (por falar nele, a capa, a concepção de diversos personagens e algumas cenas internas são... justamente dele!).

Recomendo a leitura num tablet de 10'' devido à qualidade gráfica do material.
