A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM BOOM! STUDIOS

Jim Henson’s The DARK CRYSTAL 40th Anniversary Library Kickstarter Campaign 

 

Hello fellow citizens of Thra! 

 

We are BOOM! Studios, an award-winning Los Angeles-based publisher, and for well over a decade we have had the privilege of telling new stories in the incredible worlds created by the legendary Jim Henson. 

 

Which is why you’re getting this message from us today. Because next week we’ll be debuting a brand new BOOM! Deluxe Pre-Order campaign on Kickstarter celebrating the 40th anniversary of Jim Henson’s THE DARK CRYSTAL! 

 

Over the years, we’ve had the honor of publishing official prequel, sequel, and companion comic series for THE DARK CRYSTAL, and for the 40th anniversary, we are offering, for the first time, the complete corpus of THE DARK CRYSTAL comics and graphic novel in one stunning, seven-volume sequence… plus some truly fantastic limited edition merchandise. What’s more, the finale of our BOOM! Deluxe Pre-Order campaign will coincide with The Great Con-Junction’s Dark Crystal 40th Anniversary celebration here in LA!  

 

As one of The Dark Crystal’s most fervent fans, you’ll want to sign up at our pre-launch page today so you’ll be alerted when we launch! 

 

Not only will you be the first to know and have an opportunity to secure our most limited offerings, but you won’t want to miss our dangerously, adorable Launch Day bonus item available for the first 24 hours ONLY!  

 

Best, 

 

Your friends at BOOM! Studios
