The Dark Crystal - Info and Links

Hello everyone,

I've compiled a list of Dark Crystal info and links for any interested fans who want to explore the world more in depth. There are a few main websites such as Muppet Wikia and Wikia which do go in depth but they don't have everything, so there are many Dark Crystal websites but not one that has everything in a central location. I haven't included everything in this list either but focused on general info and internet links, so it's not complete and if you have any relevant info and links which would fit in here then please post or message me. Also some fansites have gone offline and no longer work so I have made sure to include only the currently available websites.

It would be great if any fans who know more could work on expanding the Dark Crystal art exhibit history which could become it's own thread as I have only listed two most recent Jim Henson and Brian Froud Dark Crystal art exhibits. And there are other great Dark Crystal related threads in this forum such as photos of people's Dark Crystal figurine collections. I won't be able to update this thread so if it's desired it can be pinned and any updated info can be sent to a mod so they can update it if they are interested and able to. If you have any feedback please feel free to add your input.

Hopefully everyone can take something away from this list such as completing your Dark Crystal collection wherever your interest is, such as comics, toys, etc...

Ok, I think thats all... hope this helps.

Thanks Laszlo for the toy list! I don't know much about that world so it's good someone who knows about it can contribute. I didn't list the toys originally because when I did a google search, so many came up and I knew I wouldn't cover them all is I tried so it's nice that you chimed in. I checked out your Deviant Art page and you have made some cool stuff - I like the Skeksis castle.

Hi all, I have an update for the next Dark Crystal prequel graphic novel:

The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths Volume 2 (2012, graphic novel)
