Unproduced Henson script to become a comic book

[minor muppetz]

I found out recently that a script that Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl worked on during the 1950s and 1960s will be adapted into a comic book by Archia (or whatever the name of the company releasing Henson comic books is). The script was titled "Tale of Sand", and is reportedly different from anything else Jim Henson has done. It was mentioned as being a non-puppet script.

I was just coming to post this, but ya beat me to it. I'm very excited about this... The first Jim Henson-scribed product to come out since his untimely death. I wish the article went into further detail about the story, but I guess we'll see what it's about when it's released.

I haven't seen a transcript of the official press release posted here (sorry if I missed it) ... but you can read it at the link below. There are more plot details than in the bleedingcool article.

I just saw this today in the latest issue of Comic Shop News, where Jerry Juhl's name is misprinted as "Jerry Suhl."
