Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths, Volume 2 by Joshua Dysart, Lizzy John, Alex Sheikman, Brian Froud
5.0
Second read: 11/29/21 Was it this gruesome the first time? Was all this in here? Ugh. I don’t think some of this was here. This is longer than what I read before. Raunip gets his wish, but he should have been more careful. Why has his mother not done something about him?! When single shines the triple sun… looks like a Lovecraftian eye to me !
First read:
This one details the events up to the Second Great Conjunction when the beings of light, the Urskeks, split each into two beings. You see the events that lead to the crystal cracking and turning colors and the castle as well.
There are also many of Jim’s original concepts as he thought of them, explained between he and Brian Froud, as well as some sketches. It shows how the idea of such a world and even the movie evolved.
This keeps some of the more original concepts and is true to the movie at the same time. I was amazed and I love it.
