Archaia has tapped into the deepest files of the Jim Henson Company and has found a script for a movie (never filmed) which was written by Jim Henson and long-time collaborator Jerry Juhl.  They will turn it into a graphic novel due out in about 15 months from SDCC 2010.  You can click here to learn more about it!

 Featuring art by Adam Shaw, Martheus Wade, Andrew Chandler and Dean Zachary, this graphic novel written by Michael Thompson takes an indepth look at the life of David, one of the most prominent figures of the Holy Bible.  You can see the novel online by clicking here.
