Jim Henson created the idea in the mid- to late 1950s, and worked with Jerry Juhl in writing the story throughout the late '60s and early '70s. In January 2012, the Jim Henson Company partnered with Archaia Entertainment and published a graphic novel version of Henson's and Juhl's script with artwork by Ramón Pérez. Lisa Henson was instrumental in getting the story into comic book form, in partnership with Archaia editor-in-chief Stephen Christy.

section The story is about a man called Mac who wakes up in an unknown town and is pursued across the desert for the Southwest by strange people and beasts.
