It’s a tragedy that we’ll never get new material written by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl. But it’s a blessing that we’re still able to get some new-to-us material written by those two geniuses.
The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow will be in stores this Wednesday, October 1st. The graphic novel is illustrated and adapted by Roger Langridge (who you may remember from The Muppet Show Comic Book) from a script by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl, and published by Archaia. The description is as follows:
Turkey Hollow is a picturesque town where hundreds of years ago, unbeknownst to the citizens, a meteorite landed near a small brook on the outskirts of town. One Thanksgiving, while young Timmy Henderson practices his guitar, he’s accompanied by strange, unearthly, musical sounds. That meteorite wasn’t a rock at all but an egg holding seven furry, goofy monsters, each with a unique musical sound! After the initial shock, Timmy befriends the lovable creatures, who follow him all around Turkey Hollow. Not everyone takes a liking to the visitors, though, and it’s up to Timmy to protect his new friends and save Thanksgiving!
