Jareth, the ultimate bishounen -- cover of Return to Labyrinth manga

Whoo hoo! Here's some Laby news for y'all ...The Labyrinth sequel manga, officially titled Return to Labyrinth [first volume of three], comes out on August 8th. Here's the Amazon information. Here's the back text, as taken from the Tokyopop Web site:

"The Goblin King has kept a watchful eye on Toby: His minions secretly guiding and protecting the child... Legions of goblins work behind the scenes to ensure that Toby has whatever his heart desires... Preparing him for the day when he will return to the Labyrinth and take his rightful place beside Jareth as the heir to the Goblin Kingdom...

"That day has come...

"But no one has told Toby."

Here's some information from the writer himself, Jake Forbes, as posted on the Tokyopop forums, in response to people who were disappointed that Toby, rather than Sarah, was the focus:

"I'm the writer of the upcoming manga. While I don't want to give too much away too early, you can rest assured that there are several girls in the manga of various shapes and sizes--one of whom is a lead. Sarah, the main character from the movie, shows up too, but she's not the lead this time. In any case, it's not a boys-only adventure by any measure, even if Toby is our protagonist."

Annnnnd...check out images of the cover below the cut. Manga Jareth! The first is a colored version and the second uncolored version shows you all the nifty detail.

Update on MM manga and Jim Henson DVD set w Laby, MM and DC

The Jim Henson Fantasy Film Collection, a trio of Labyrinth, Dark Crystal and MirrorMask, appears on September 5th. This is not actually news, just a bit of creative marketing, since the DVDs and all extras are just the same as previous releases. The only things that distinguish this collection from anything else are clips from the Return to Labyrinth manga and from the MirrorMask manga. Boring. You can go back to waiting for the Labyrinth sequel manga now.

More info here: http://www.dvdtown.com/announcement/jimhensonfantasyfilmcollection/3629

Apparently the MM manga isn't coming out till early next year. >_<
