Story

Volume 1

Official Description:
Set thirteen years after the events of Labyrinth, Jareth the Goblin King sends his minions to capture Toby and return him to the Labyrinth to take his place as the heir to the Goblin Kingdom. The Goblin King has kept a watchful eye on Toby. His minions have secretly been guiding and protecting the child. Legions of goblins have worked 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.

Volume 2

Official Description:
Still reeling from the announcement that Jareth has handed over control of the Labyrinth to Toby, the Goblin Kingdom is in an uproar. Panjan Spittledrum, the Goblin Mayor, had assumed that he would be Jareth's successor, as had the coldly beautiful Mizumi, Queen of the Moraine Kingdom.
