A thousand years ago. The planet Thra. When the Crystal of Truth shattered, two new races appeared in the land, the cruel and malevolent Skeksis, further tainting and wielding the corrupted crystal for their own ends, unnaturally extending their lives–a twisted existence to match their monstrous visages. Their counterpart, the gentle, wise, and kind urRu, more commonly known as Mystics, await their final fate in the Valley of Stones, where they harbor the last known living Gelfling… a young orphan named Jen. The classic 1983 adaptation from writer David Anthony Kraft (The Savage She-Hulk) and artists Bret Blevins (The New Mutants, Star Wars Legends) & Vince Colletta (Thor) of the timeless and much-beloved Jim Henson film The Dark Crystal is lovingly restored and presented in hardcover as part of BOOM! Studios’ Archive Edition line! Collects The Dark Crystal #1-2.
