Jim Henson's brilliant film The Dark Crystal has become a cult classic over the past two decades. Brian Froud's concept design for the film is the basis for this companion volume, now back in print due to international demand. This oversized hardcover collector's edition includes never-before-published art, an essay by Froud on the creative process of making the film, and a facsimile of the booklet Froud and Henson created to present the film to its early backers.
