Adam Smith (Jim Henson’s Labyrinth 2017 Special) and rising-star artist
Alexandria Huntington unveil a new sequel to the hit film "The Dark Crystal" as
Kensho arrives at the Crystal Castle where he was once a lowly acolyte and is
asked to accept the responsibility as leader of Thra. But he will have to
rectify sins of the past before he can decide if he – or anyone – is fit to
rule. Meanwhile, the realm of Mithra is being rebuilt by the newly-crowned Ember
Queen Thurma, whose own quest to decide the future of her land is thrown into
question when another Fireling makes a claim as the true heir to the throne.
“The Dark Crystal is undeniably about wonder and hope, a fantastical world to be
explored and saved from evil,” said writer Adam Smith. “In Beneath the Dark
Crystal, we’re so excited to continue that exploration to the world beneath Thra,
Mithra. The Jim Henson Company has always told undeniably human stories wrapped
in magic and mysticism, and we hope that readers will not just join us, but
connect in some way, to a new world of hope and wonder. The next stage of Thurma
and Kensho’s relationship is a very human story, just with Firelings, Gelfling,
and a very powerful Light.”
