Forgive me, patient readers, for the long delay, but I bring you at last the SCANDALOUS conclusion of The Goblin King’s Revenge. In the last episode (which you can read here), we learned that that infamous Goblin King had left his kingdom to come to Earth. His motives, though unknown, are surely sinister. But mankind […]

My Uncredited Masterwork!
April 27th, 2008 · 5 Comments
A few years back, I did the adaptation and image selection for Tokyopop’s The Empire Strikes Back “Cinemanga” (aka film comic). For licensing reasons, could only be sold by Tokyopop in the UK. It was a fun exercise in abridgment, trying to cram the best of the Star Wars films into 90 pages of screen […]
The Goblin King’s Revenge: Pt. 1
April 17th, 2008 · 14 Comments
So lately I’ve been spending far too much time in the Buffyverse, catching up with Slaying goodness that I should have watched many years ago. In the spirit of Joss Whedon and Brian K. Vaughn, here’s a script for a little “what if…?” guest starring everyone’s favorite sexy scoundrel. File under fan fic (Jareth and […]

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. Moppet, for example, is developed to the point where I could tell a series about her even without Toby and crew. Mizumi had […]

On Writing Jareth
February 15th, 2008 · 75 Comments
I mentioned in a recent comment that I was working on a “Jareth Chapter.” Well, on Wednesday I finished that chapter (phew!) but it still has to go through approvals (*fingers crossed*). I’m not going to comment on the specifics of that chapter because 1) until it wouldn’t be prudent until it’s been approved, and […]

Hana and Stank’s Cheesy Big Adventure: Deleted Scene!
January 15th, 2008 · 8 Comments
Sometimes the first draft of a scene will make it to the final book word-for-word. Usually it takes a couple drafts of revisions either self-imposed or guided by Tokyopop and Henson before drawing commences. Most of those changes are done to improve the story or character development, but there were a few trims that […]

After two weeks away from the internets, we’re back to ring in the new year right (and a week late…) on Gobblin.net! As promised last time, I’ve got new commentary on Return to Labyrinth Vol. 3, as well as a first glimpse of art. Granted, it’s just a thumbnail, but I think Labyrinth Fans […]

Birth of a Bureaucrat: The Spittledrum Supremacy
December 17th, 2007 · 10 Comments
Return to Labyrinth volume 1 went through three very different takes before we arrived at the one that went to press. In the very first draft, goblins played an even bigger role in the story, and the tone was much more influenced by Terry Jones and the Monty Python element. While a few of the […]
