About the series
In 1986, Marvel Comics adapted Jim Henson's beloved fantasy film into a three-issue comic series, with Henson himself co-writing alongside Dennis Lee and Sid Jacobson. Illustrated by the legendary John Buscema and inker Romeo Tanghal, this mini-series translated the labyrinthine world of goblins and puzzles into vivid comic panels. Notably, it also features unexpected guest appearances from Marvel's Power Pack kids and even Gumby, blending Henson's whimsical tone with the House of Ideas' signature style. A unique artifact of its era, this series captures the film's magic while offering a quirky, Marvel-tinged perspective on the classic story.
