From the incomparable imagination and lucid visions of Sandman creator Neil Gaiman and acclaimed artist and director Dave McKean -- and the innovative minds at The Jim Henson Company -- comes MirrorMask, a breathtaking journey through a strange and magical looking-glass world where anything can happen ... and frequently does. Here is the complete film book of the new high-water mark in family fantasy entertainment. The story of young Helena, daughter of the circus, comes vividly alive as we accompany her on her remarkable mission to a place far beyond wonder; a phantasmagorical quest to rescue a realm from the devouring forces of chaos and shadow in order to win back her stolen "real" life from a runaway interloper from the other side. Containing the full screenplay and more than 1,700 illustrated storyboards of the major motion picture -- as well as movie stills, comments, appreciations, and memories from the authors and filmmakers -- this one-of-a-kind volume is destined to become a classic, a keepsake to be cherished by fans of all ages. For all who believe in the glorious reality of dreams, for everyone who longs to ride their imagination to miraculous places, the door is now open wide. See the world anew through the MirrorMask ... and nothing will ever look the same again.

ニール・ゲイマンの詩的な言葉とデイヴ・マッキーンの幻惑的な造形が融合した本作は、自己の欠落と再生を描く鏡像の神話です。サーカスの日常と悪夢のような異界を繋ぐのは、思春期の少女が抱く「ここではないどこか」への渇望。鏡の向こうの自分と対峙する旅路は、美しくも残酷な自己探求の儀式として、読者の魂を激しく揺さぶります。 脚本と絵コンテを収めた本書は、映像という完成された夢に「物語の設計図」という知的な深みを与えます。映像が視覚の奔流で圧倒する一方、テキストは少女の内面を静かに解剖し、読者にのみ許された内省的な没入感をもたらします。両メディアが響き合うことで、あなたの想像力は未知の地平へと羽ばたくはずです。
