This was posted on the 23rd, but better late than never. From Jake Forbes' (the guy who writes Return To Labyrinth) blog.
Now that we’ve completed the Jim Henson/Tokyopop panel at Wondercon, I”ll share the biggest news now.
In March of 2009 Tokyopop will be releasing the first (of a TBD number) of Labyrinth anthologies. These books will tell stories about favorite characters from the film such as Hoggle, Ludo, the Fierys and the Junk Lady, as well as stories related to Return to Labyrinth. Each story will feature different creators and styles.
Oh, and the title of this anthology isn’t finalized yet. I threw out “Tales of the Labyrinth,” but feel free to suggest your own titles in the comments section. Maybe we’ll do a poll in the weeks to come.
More Con Details:
Return to Labyrinth 3 dated for November 08, Labyrinth Anthology 1 dated for March 09, RtL 4 (final volume!) in fall 09
As hinted at in the “On Writing Jareth” post, there’s a pseudo-musical number for Jareth in the works for RtL3
Someone asked if there would be any more Bowie references. Answer -yup!
Also, on the topic of references, Tim expressed his excitement about a mini Henson crossover gag in volume 3
The story I’ll be writing for the Anthology is about Jareth and Mizumi and shows how Jareth becomes the Goblin King
For Dark Crystal fans, editor Tim Beedle revealed two new Skesis characters who will appear in the next volume of that series — the Spymaster and the Mariner. They looked awesome. (I can’t discuss Dark Crystal here as I don’t work on that series, but as I a fan, seeing new Skesis gave me tinglies).
*does the happy wiggle puppy dance*
