Absolutely LOVED this story! The world of the Labyrinth was explored much more and I was just dying for it. Adored the art and story, it did its own thing and that’s what I really appreciated. Highly recommend for Labyrinth fans!

God, I loved it! I originally only bought this to get free shipping on a B&N order and it was 50% off. I love the movie Labyrinth, so I bought it. The illustrations are gorgeous and I adore the story. Can’t wait for the next volume!

It was fine.
As a fan of the movie I was excited to discover this graphic novel, and to learn more about the Goblin King and how he came to be in his current position. Unfortunately volume one has not inspired me to carry on with the series.
The story finds us following another young woman entering the Labyrinth in search of her baby that has been taken by the current Goblin King. I had hoped that Jareth would be the main character (rather than his mother), but other then that there wasn't anything particularity wrong with the story or the writing; just nothing I felt particularly invested in either. The magic just wasn't there.
