BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
Labyrinth has been enjoying a resurgence of sorts. It turns out there is a tremendous amount of nostalgia for a movie that had zero impact at the box office. Archaia continues its fine comic offshoots in Labyrinth Coronation. The book purports to tell us the origin of Jareth the Goblin King. We meet a couple of contenders in 1797, but neither one seems to fully fit the bill. Simon Spurrier uses almost nothing from the original movie, giving us NEW stuff instead of retreads. Yea! If anything, the book reminded me more of Klaus than anything else. Recommended for fans of puppetty oddballs, folk fests, and jelly-offs. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
