Via Cognitive Dissonance, an announcement from the San Diego Comic-Con:

The Beat from Mile-High Comics reports the announcement:

The Jim Henson Company has partnered with TOKYOPOP Inc., the #1 publisher of manga in the U.S., in an exclusive manga publishing deal to bring three of its fantasy titles to fans. Most notable among them is MirrorMask, the feature film from Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman due for release on September 30th of this year. TOKYOPOP’s MirrorMask prequel manga will be plotted by Gaiman, the award-winning writer of the highly successful Sandman comics as well as the novels Good Omens and Coraline. Also included in the deal will be all-new original graphic novel series for the immensely popular properties The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

The MirrorMask prequel will tell the story of the princess' escape from the Dark Palace and how she came to acquire the MirrorMask.

TOKYOPOP also plans to release a sequel manga to Labyrinth, which first hit the big screen in 1986, remained a fan favorite over the years and also served as an inspiration for MirrorMask. Its manga version will follow 13-year-old Toby as he journeys back to the Labyrinth to assume his role as the heir to the Goblin Kingdom. Manga writer Jake Forbes will write this series.

The final title will be a prequel to 1982’s The Dark Crystal, the classic tale of good versus evil that broke ground as the first fully animatronic feature. Henson also recently announced that it is in preproduction on a sequel theatrical film of this cult classic.

Is anyone here with a digital camera going to be in a hotel room sometime in the next three weeks?

Yes, I know that sounds odd, but I need very good photo ref - i.e., I sketch out the angles and point-of-view and someone takes those exact photos - and I'm not going to be near a hotel room for months to come. the digital camera thing is so that I can get them ASAP.

It would be ideal if you had a laptop and a net connection at said hotel so I couild look at the pics, then ask for any corrections or new angles I might need, but that's a best-case scenario.

Will also probably be asking for other photo ref in the near future, so if you can't supply a hotel room, then something else might be right up your alley. :)
