Link to the Show / Show NotesOne of the more intriguing panels at SDCC was one that combined the names of two established names inmedia - the Henson Family and TOKYOPOP. The Labyrinth and Dark Crystal panel reveals the secrets behind how these two establishments came together for this project. We got to hear from the people who worked on the manga detailing why they took on these beloved properties. I really wish I could have Video-Blogged this since you all as listeners will miss out on the artwork (which was critical to the discussion), however I think the insight will be very informative as well.
