==Literature== Boxtree in the UK and [[Tor Books]] in the U.S. published three ''Farscape'' novels: ''House of Cards'' by [[Keith R.A. DeCandido]], ''Dark Side of the Sun'' by [[Jim Mortimore|Andrew Dymond]], and ''Ship of Ghosts'' by [[David Bischoff]]. A fourth novel was commissioned to be written by DeCandido but did not surface after the show's cancellation. [[Scott K. Andrews]]' ''Uncharted Territory: An Unauthorised and Unofficial Guide To Farscape'' (Virgin Publishing 2002, {{ISBN|0-7535-0704-8}}) covered Farscape's first three seasons exhaustively. Paul Simpson wrote ''The Illustrated Farscape Companion'' series for Titan Books, one book per season (Book 1 with David Hughes; Books 2 and 3 with photographer Ruth Thomas) with exclusive official content. ''The Creatures of Farscape: Inside Jim Henson's Creature Shop'', released in 2004, offered a colorful look inside the famous creature shop that created the stunning array of creatures and make-up effects. It includes previously unseen and behind the scenes images, exclusive contributions from the show's stars and make-up artists, and a foreword by executive producer Brian Henson. ''Farscape Forever! Sex, Drugs and Killer Muppets'' released 28 September 2005; in which Science fiction and fantasy authors analyse several aspects of the TV series. Contributors include Martha Wells on characters Crichton and D'Argo's buddy relationship, P. N. Elrod on the villains she loves to hate, and Justina Robson on sex, pleasure, and feminism. Topics range from a look at how Moya was designed and an examination of vulgarity and bodily functions to a tourist's budget guide to the ''Farscape'' universe. Shortly after season 3 began airing, [[Titan Magazines]] released a ''Farscape'' magazine. Available bi-monthly, the magazine was published from April/May 2001 through the 12th issue of April/May 2003. The magazine had a in-depth material, including interviews with the cast and crew, behind the scenes information on many episodes, original fiction (by O'Bannon, DeCandido, [[Greg Cox (writer)|Greg Cox]], [[John Kenneth Muir]], and others), and a regular column by David Kemper. There were two versions of the magazine produced each issue, with the only difference being the front cover, and the magazine also had two special issues{{emdash}}a season 3 special (issue 7), and the final issue (issue 12) containing an episode guide for the four seasons to date, as well as sketches for ideas and the ''Horizons'' fiction. ==="Horizons" fiction=== In the final issue of its run, the ''Farscape'' magazine published a piece of fiction written by series creator [[Rockne S. O'Bannon]]. Set a long time after the end of the fourth season, this details the subsequent adventures of the Moya crew. Since "Horizons" was written before the ''[[Peacekeeper Wars]]'' miniseries, there are some [[canon (fiction)|plot inconsistencies]]. ===Comics=== ====Wildstorm Productions==== [[File:Farscape War Torn 01 cover.jpg|thumb|upright|''Farscape: War Torn'' first issue]] During 2002, [[Wildstorm Productions]] produced a two-part ''Farscape'' comic entitled "War Torn", with the first part available in April and the second in May. The comics featured two stories, each spanning both issues. "War Torn", the main story, featured the Moya crew becoming ensnared in a war between two planets over a third, and took up roughly three quarters of the comic. "Fourth Horseman β featuring Chiana" was a Chiana-only story as she came across old friends and foes on the run from the Nebari. Both stories seem to have been set during Season 2. The second issue also included a double-page spread of some of the preliminary sketches. ====BOOM! Studios==== ''Farscape'' returned to the comic form in 2008 through a partnership between The Jim Henson Company and [[BOOM! Studios]] that fit into established Farscape canon following ''The Peacekeeper Wars''.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17408 | title=CCI: Rockne O'Bannon on BOOM!'s "Farscape" Comics | last=Manning | first=Shaun | date=25 July 2008 | website=[[Comic Book Resources]] | access-date=16 November 2014 | archive-date=29 November 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129050332/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17408 | url-status=live }}</ref> Three 4-issue miniseries (''The Beginning of the End of the Beginning'', ''Strange Detractors'', and ''Gone and Back'') were published from December 2008 through June 2009 before a monthly ''Farscape'' series began in July 2009.
