  It's not everyday we get a comic release suitable for all ages. Sometimes all-age books have an almost watered down feel as they have to be safe for younger readers. The tales in Jim Henson's Storyteller manage to capture the Henson feel and feel they'd be perfect for the original television series. There is a wide range of today's top comic creators involved here. Whoever is responsible for gathering all the talent and putting this together should be commended. Everyone involved here has made the comic industry a little bit brighter. Traditional comics are great but it's nice to have something a little different that has such a warm feel to it. Keep an eye out for this book. Ask your comic shop to order it. Visit your local bookstore. If you're looking for some fun, light-hearted tales that the entire family can enjoy, you must track this book down. Read Full Review

  Comic Book Resources - Doug Zawisza

  This is a fine collection, something that can be picked up, set down, and picked up again. It begs to be shared with a friend or family member, preferably near a fireplace with the warmth of that fire comforting you as much as these stories comfort your soul. Archaia continues to find new ways to produce bookcase and coffee table worthy stories, and this collection would be equally so regardless of the creator's name emblazoned upon the cover. The fact that all of the writers and artists are clearly inspired by the dreams of Jim Henson just makes this book all the more worthy of being read, enjoyed, and shared. Storytellers don't just tell stories, after all, they collect them. Perhaps it is time for you to become a Storyteller. Read Full Review

  The added pin up pages between stories add that extra bit that makes this feel like more than a comic book, more than a graphic novel " this is a story book that melds so many means of storytelling into one flawless package. Read Full Review

  I highly recommend you pick this one up. But don't expect it to find a place on your shelf. This one goes on nightstands. And when it's spent some time there, it travels. Great stories are meant to be shared. Read Full Review
