About this ebook

Simon Spurrier (Godshaper, The Power of the Dark Crystal) and Daniel Bayliss (Jim Henson’s Storyteller: Dragons, Kennel Block Blues) present a magical look into the world of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth. Before Sarah braved the Labyrinth to save her brother, another young woman sought to save a young boy named Jareth from the clutches of the Goblins. Set in 18th-century Venice, Italy, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: Coronation is a striking look into the history of the Labyrinth itself, and what happens to the little boys who don’t get rescued. This is the untold history of the Goblin King. Collects issues #1-4.

Ratings and reviews

Thought this was a great and lovingly-made retelling of the Labyrinth! I love the way the backstory of Jareth is interwoven with scenes we know and love from the movie. The artistry is gorgeous. The only disconcerting thing for me is Jareth does not resemble David Bowie in the slightest, while Sarah and all other characters we have met before look spot-on. Can’t wait to continue on!

I own the hardcover and I love it. A must-read for every Labyrinth fan. Check out my Youtube review: type the title of the book and then the wors "review", to find it on Youtube.
