The glory that is the Labyrinth comic adaptation

[modernwizard]

I just bought a three-comic adaptation of Labyrinth. Published in 1986, this Marvel adaptation came out in three separate issues, which were then collected in a super special. If you watch Ebay, you'll see that the super special appears much more frequently. "What a pity," though, because the individual issues contain exquisitely awful cover art somewhere not duplicated in the super special. 

Anyway, stay tuned to Jareth's Realm because I will scan and upload each volume of the adaptation so that you, too, can see how amusing it is [for all the wrong reasons -- not a funny story, but heinous art]. Until I get a new scanner, please content yourselves with a sample below, illustrating JARETH THE FEARSOME BOOGEYMAN WITH GLOWING CONTACT LENSES OR SOMETHING!

If the Bowie-in-the-corner showed up on my doorstep, i'd get the hose.

I rather like the art here, actually...

I have the super special. I was going to buy them separately just for the lovely covers. XD

I was just thinking, "Huh, I never knew Spiderman was in Labyrinth..."

It has just occurred to me, after revisiting this post, that Jareth's hands in this look seriously...uh...wizened. More goblin - esque, perhaps, but that's a curious feature.
