The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths. Volume II

The Great Conjunction is at hand in this dramatic second volume of Archaia
and The Jim Henson Company's trilogy of prequel graphic novels that tell the
origin of The Dark Crystal.

Aughra, the beloved guardian of Thra, has gone into hiding, while her son,
Raunip, leads a team of emissaries to the Crystal Castle. There they will bear
witness as the visiting Urskeks attempt to use the Conjunction to power their
voyage home. But pain and mistrust fostered by the group leads to events that
will corrupt the world to its very core and transform the Urskeks into two
distinct races: the gentle urRu and the terrifying Skeksis.

Brian Froud, legendary fantasy artist and conceptual designer of Jim
Henson's The Dark Crystal film, returns to oversee this crucial chapter
that reveals the tragic events that caused the Bright Crystal to darken and
shatter.
