The illustrations are clean, vibrant and eye-catching. They are the perfect companion to the story. All of the covers and variants of the first four comics are also collected in this book.
I love the way the backstory of Jareth is interwoven with scenes we know and love from the movie.
The artistry is gorgeous. The only disconcerting thing for me is Jareth does not resemble David Bowie in the slightest, while Sarah and all other characters we have met before look spot-on.
Can’t wait to continue on!
This was an interesting and illuminating prequel to the Labyrinth series, and tells the story about Jareth’s rise to become the goblin king. There are several new central characters, including a goblin knight, an animated rosebush that loves hugs, and a little worm that resembles the softspoken one when Jennifer first enters the Labyrinth in the film (but this little guy ends up having a much bigger role in the future of the Goblin Kingdom). In this we actually have a story that mirrors the film in a way that reframes and gives a platform to the events that are to come. There is a love story hinging on a betrayal, a character lost and wandering an unfair and confusing world against the clock, and of course, a massive war. Eventually the mirrors to the events of the film match up and it is clear to see where the goblin (and owl) king begin, embrace their anger and manipulation, and lead us to the world of Jareth and Jennifer.
The artwork is beautiful, and are a gorgeous echo in spirit and style to the original film. An enjoyable series as a whole if you are a fan of the original films. Not something I would go and read again, but a wholly fun adventure during the time I spent with it.

They are truly capturing the spirit of the late Jim Henson's work.
I enjoyed already the works from the Dark Crystal line of books, they have been wonderful.
The same ist to be said about Labyrinth: Coronation. The only thing, I would have likey a little bit more likeness of the Goblin King to David Bowie, at least the artists could have given attention to the different eyecoloring of Mr Bowie.
But that is me complaining on elevated niveau. The art is, also like in the Dark Crystal line, very unique and striking.
And the story is interestingly settled as flashbacks during the story of the original movie.
Get it, read it, enjoy it. Recommended.
This review also goes for Volumes 2 & 3.

Au final c'est un très bon comics, j'ai juste le regret de ne pas avoir pris la version relié car j'aurais pas attendre aujourd'hui que le tome 3 sorte en broché.
