Three short comic strip stories about the inhabitants of the labyrinth.
Cute: I liked it. The illustrations were unpretentious and led charm to what could've been ridiculous to an avid Labyrinth movie fan, and I liked the stories, especially of Didymus getting his post. The average of 3.5 is pretty accurate, but I'll round up.
Warm, adorable, nostalgic and full of fun art. This little collection of stories is just what a Labyrinth fan needs.
I liked the second and third story the most. The third being my favorite!Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
This is a short collection of quick stories featuring Sir Didymus, Hoggle, and a random goblin. Only the Sir Didymus story is really worth reading, but I really enjoyed that one - good art, a smart exploration of his character, and it even serves as explaining why he was guarding the bridge. The other two have different art styles and a lot less to say about their characters. Ultimately, it's only 40 pages, and one good story justifies the few minutes it will take to read the entire collection.
Pretty gutsy of the publishers to put Sarah on the cover when she appears... zero times throughout the issue.In all seriousness, I really enjoyed this take on the Labyrinth. It's so cool to see other stories taking place in a setting everyone knows and loves. My favorite was Mariell's/Sir Bittimus' section, but the rest were still very good. I will definitely try to get the next issue when it comes out, despite it's price.
3.5. For hardcore Labyrinth fans, this was super cute.
Three fun short stories, two of which give you the back story of how characters from the movie ended up where they did. Worth a read if you are a fan of this world.
I liked the story of Sir Didymus quite a bit. It shows his character while explaining why he's guarding the bridge. The third story by Michael Dialynas about a goblin named "No" was quite good too.
I loved the little cockatiel in the last story with the books. The story about Sir Didymus is pretty cute too.
Great origin stories!Another thoroughly enjoyable read for Labyrinth fans. I loved the origin story for Didymus and Hoggle but I will say that I wasn't the biggest fan of the artwork. I felt that the Goblin King wasn't portrayed as strong, dark, and mysterious as he should have been which was a little disappointing. Nonetheless! The illustrations are still very good and the stories are wonderful my little librarian heart sang particularly loudly at the last story about the traveling library. So
I liked the back stories that were told in this comic - but I think the drawing was sloppy. especially in the first story. It detracted from the story to have the pictures that went along with it looking so childishly drawn.

Not joking when I say I loved this and want this on my shelves. Labyrinth was a massive childhood movie for me that I adore rewatching, with a cast I care a lot about, so seeing the origins of two characters and seeing more of the world of the labyrinth, understanding the generosity of the goblin king, and just being in this story for longer than the film is great!1st story we learn how Didymus was assigned to the bog of eternal stench; 2nd story is about hoggle earning his job role; and 3 is an...
Nice collection of multiple short comics filling out the world of Labyrinth. These remind me of Märchen(the americans kept the dots in this germanism in contrast to "uber", marchen for the brits) which is very apt for fantasy world.
Familiar Characters, New StoriesSuper cute stories. Two of the three tell tales of how Sir Didymus came to guard the bridge in the bog and how Hoggle came to be the groundskeeper.
I thought this was really cute. It probably helps that I read it a couple of years after it was released through my library, because yes, having Sarah on this cover when she doesn't show up in this particular edition was a tad disappointing. It's a pretty cover. The three stories included were "The Eternal Tournament," "En Guard!" and "No!" Sir Didymus's story was my favorite, and very much in character.
The cover art by Jeremy Bastian is great!
Cute! Wish the Goblin King had been scarier/more intimidating. Otherwise perfect.
Graphic novel. Three stories, all taking place before the movie. Hoggle looks a lot younger. Most of the artwork is pretty good. The Eternal Tournament. Sir Didymus and Ambrosius enter the tournament. Someone named Mariell enters the tournament. She had been in it the won the previous 12 matches,Apparently whoever wins the tournament has to work in the bog of eternal stench. Challenges include archery, spear throwing, etc. There's a lot of cheating that is going on, though, and it all seems aime...
