By the time I’d finished the script for the first volume of Return to Labyrinth, some of the characters had fleshed out backstories and multi-volume arcs, while other characters were, admittedly, sketchy.

So a few months back, I visited my sister in Alabama and we went on a road trip. As we were packing our bags, I suddenly had an idea – let’s invite Jareth! And so I looked into the mirror and chanted, “Goblin King, Goblin King, wherever you may be, come to Alabama with […]
