Beautiful Boo

Amazingly Creepy artwork, perfect in every way!

A Classic!

The illustrations are beautifully vintage and the plot follows the movie's to a T. Would definitely recommend to any fan of the original movie for collection purposes and to fans looking to introduce any younger children to the world of the Dark Crystal, seeing skeksis on the page first is a little less intense than throwing them into the deep end with the Chamberlain!
