powerdarkThe Dark Crystal, the fantasy from Jim Henson and Frank Oz is to get a sequel.

Or rather, the unmade sequel is about to be made – into a comic.

THR has the PR scoop from Boom, which credits the book as

The 12-issue series, titled The Power of the Dark Crystal will be adapted by British writer Si Spurrier from an unproduced screenplay by David Odell, Annette Odell and Craig Pearce, with art by Kelly and Nichole Matthews. The cover for the first issue comes from the Eisner Award-winning Jae Lee, with colors by June Chung.

As for the plot?

The series is set decades after events of 1982's The Dark Crystal, with Jen and Kira distracted by the pressures of ruling Thra and no longer in touch with the needs of the people — which provokes a Fireling called Thurma to set out to steal a shard of the Dark Crystal with which she intends to restore power to her realm. Unfortunately, that mission might also restore the Skeksis, as well…

Look for it in February…

Thanks to TB for the fix.
