Just read this. While I was hoping for something more epic and in scale to the movie, it was still a good story (though not a grand Garthim War like I always imagined), and the artwork was top notch (though I would have prefered color). Eagerly awaiting (many) more volumes. Any news on when that might be?!?!?!

I'm obsessed with the movie, I even compare my boyfriend to a skeksi, (his vulture like nose, and vainy feet, loving aren't I?) Jim Henson is a genius, and the movie The Dark Crystal 2, is coming out this spring. I'm crapping myself just thinking about it.

12.01.2008 08:00 AM


I just recently read Return to Labyrinth also, and I must say that the coverart is somewhat deceptive. The inside art is good, nothing special or spectacular by any means. I expected a little more, but I like the continuation of the story.

01.01.2008 08:00 AM


o.O;; somehow, i just can not stand digital tonework, it just looks as if someone painted the drafts with monochrome paints, or worse, a black & white photo (look at the clouds above the Gelfling) *sigh* Also the covers of these Dark Crystal & Labyrinth "manga" appear to look better than the actual content ;__; its a let down. Do they just rely on digital tones & colouring so they can get them on the shelfs faster, thus get a profit sooner? I adore manga aswell as The dark Crystal, yet i shan't be reading this, i hope they bring out a novel so that everyone can know the stories ^__^; as i believe that they have done that for other manga in the past.

About a month ago, I wrote an article about the 25th Anniversary Edition soundtrack of The Dark Crystal, a landmark movie from Jim Henson and Frank Oz. For those of you who don’t remember, this fantasy film hit the theaters in the early '80s and featured nothing but puppets in an epic tale.

 

In conjunction with the release of the 25th Anniversary Editions of The Dark Crystal DVD and soundtrack, TOKYOPOP has released an all new manga series based on the film. Jim Henson’s Legends of The Dark Crystal: The Garthim Wars: Volume I tells the tale of two young Gelfling survivors, who decide to take action and turn the tables on their attackers. When I received a copy of the first volume of this new manga series, just by looking at the amazing cover art by Jae-Hwan Kim, I knew I was in for a treat.

 

Lahr, a young Gelfling shepherd was out tending to his herd when Garthim, creatures sent by the evil Skeksis raid his village and destroy all he holds dear. They leave no bodies behind as the Skeksis have ordered that all Gelflings be brought to the Crystal Palace, their essence used to feed the Emperor. While sifting through the destruction, Lahr is attacked by a Garthim and as rage at the loss of his people overcomes him, Lahr does something that no Gelfling has ever done before. He fights back and eventually kills the Garthim.

 

Amazed at what he has just done, Lahr is determined to spread the word and warn others of the Garthim attacks. Along the way, he meets a Gelfling female, a tapestry weaver named Neffi. She, too, is the only survivor of an attack on her village. Together, they seek out neighboring villages to warn them of the attacks. They soon find a Gelfling community hidden deep in the mountain crevices. Can Lahr and Neffi convince a peaceable community of Gelflings to defy t
