8 posts | 14 read | 4 to read
Join us as we explore this missing piece of Jim Henson''s career in a celebration of his creative process. Discovered in the Archives of the The Jim Henson Company, A Tale of Sand is an original graphic novel adaptation of an unproduced, feature-length screenplay written by Jim Henson and his frequent writing partner, Jerry Juhl. A Tale of Sand follows scruffy everyman, Mac, who wakes up in an unfamiliar town, and is chased across the desert of the American Southwest by all manners of man and beast of unimaginable proportions. Produced with the complete blessing of Lisa Henson, A Tale of Sand will allow Henson fans to recognize some of the inspirations and set pieces that appeared in later Henson Company productions.

Everytime I discover another Jim Henson project, I am remind of what a singular talent he was. One of the long list of unproduced absurdist/surrealist screenplays from the 60s, this graphic novel interpretation features minimal dialogue and vibrant art.

This was a very very very strange book. The illustrations were great and that's why it got the two stars. Other than that not a lot of words and it was very confusing. I had no idea what it was about and at the end I guess it's a loop? Definitely a weird read.
2 stars.

The power went out over the weekend and I was nursing a broken tooth. To take my mind off of everything I got caught up on some reading.

First off this book was very trippy and beautifully done.

To say this was weird is an understatement. I‘m still not sure what I just read...

Tale of Sand is the only screenplay that Jim Henson wrote that wasn't produced when he was still alive. It's mostly silent and completely art focused (although there are a few scattered word balloons throughout). It's a gorgeous book and a fun story to page through. 🤘
