Between 1967 and 1974, Jim Henson and his longtime writting partner Jerry Juhl developed three drafts of a screenplay for a feature lenght film called ,,Tale of Sand".

It was during the development of the final draft of the screenplay that Jim Henson became involved in the production of ,,Sesame Street" and ,,The Muppet Show", and he left the experimental filmmaking of his youth behind to concentrate on the creations that would in time make him a household name.

,,Tale of Sand" remained in the vaults of The Jim Henson Company ever since. It is the only feature-lenght screenplay written by Jim Henson that he was never able to produce during his lifetime.

Breathtakingly illustrated by Ramón K. Pérez(,,Wolverine and the X-Men", ,,Kukuburi"), ,,Tale of Sand" was hailed upon release, winning three 2012 Eisner Awards including Best Graphic Album, Best Penciller/Inkers; and Best Publication Design, as well as two Harvey Awards and the Joe Shuster Award, and was named the best book of 2012 by iFanboy and Comics Alliance.
