I think I’ll explode like a chicken if the next volume doesn’t get here soon!

I was hesitant to read the series but as soon as I read the first volume, I felt like RtL enchanced the magic that was the Labyrinth and I can’t wait till the last volume!

I love Sarah. Now that I know her past and why she has become this sort of “ghost in the shell” version of herself, I love her and can’t wait to see what’s in store. As a Jareth/Sarah fan, I’m thrilled to see how Jareth is always in character and how Sarah has vastly matured with time. Even if the story is centered around Toby, it does give the fans a fantastic view of Sarah’s life after the Labyrinth and how it will change even more now that Toby is the new GK. The lines that Jareth has in Vol. 3 implies so much to me that I can only wonder what you’re writing, Mr. Forbes.

Thanks for your great work!

Ah! Laszlo, I just realised who you are. I’ve seen you before on the Muppet Central Forums, I love your sculptures, you have an amazing eye for detail and it translates well into your 3D and 2D work.

I always thought that they used the name and strength of the Candlewic in the art book, not neccesarily his role.

;Mandy re: Candlewic, to be clear, aside from the name, he’s not based on the design or story in the art book.’

I realized that right away. Your version looks much buffer.

Thank you Jake for your answer! I guess I have to read the other volumes. I also hope there is more of Hoggle.
Hoggle is my favourite Labyrinth character. BTW, I also own his original movie waistcoat prop.

I love the Friendly Fierys! I’m seeing them in concert next month. Oh wait… that’s the Friendly Fires. Not quite the same thing. If you don’t know the band, check ‘em out!

The Fireys friendly? Well, maybe if you don’t mind your head being used in a friendly game of basketball.

Still, I imagine there must be some level of comradery in the Goblin Kingdom, though it’s probably less like friendship and more like lighting each other on fire.

Maybe Hoggle has become a constituent of the supremacy? haha
I never really associated goblins with friendliness. Looking at Jareth’s army, there aren’t very many tender moments amongst the cavalry. The only friendly creatures I remember were the fireys and the wiseman.
