Saw the Dark Crystal comic at the comic book store Yesterday. It looks very nie and its hardcover...but twenty bucks in one shot seemed a bit steep. I was hoping for several 3 to 4 dollar issues rather than graphic novels right up front. It does look nice though and I know Froud was involved so thats a plus.

Yes, definitely woth it. Here is a review I wrote:
I enjoyed the book very much, overall the artwork and story is excellent!
I love the compositions and lighting/shading.
However there are things which I do not like as much:
- There is not enough text. Some important details left unexplained.
For ex. : Aughra got a third "eye" burnt into her forehead. But why?
- The story "How Gelfling Maids got their wings". Aughra sticks feathers in her back... Sorry, but ***? I hope this is just a joke. Also the Gelfling portrait there is not really good.
- Aughra should not have a son. The WORLD OF THE DARK CRYSTAL book says: "Of the race of Aughra, I WAS alone, the first and last."
- Some details look like we are on earth (not on Thra): For example the Gelflings belt buckle looks exactly like a human made one. Or the Gelflings sailboat.
