The Goblins of Labyrinth

2006Brian Froud

5/5

First of I will have to admit I am a huge fan of Brian Froud (not really a huge surprise though really). Having just reading the Dark Crystal Creation Myth graphic novel series and contemplating the sequel series as well I must admit I have seen quite a bit of his work recently. That said it amazes me how fresh his work appears even after all these years (this is the original publication I am reading by the way) as it dates back to the early 80s. The book consists of a catalogue of the various goblins you may find wandering around the labyrinth and its great fun. A combination of sketches and water colours along with fun and humours text explaining a little about them. The book I will admit is really aimed at the fans though - it tells nothing of the film or even much about the world they live in - hence the reason I am not worrying about spoilers.But what it does show is the creativity of Brian and the ideas that come in to his head. I know that the work he has done with the Henson Company have made his name but the creativity of this man is boundless and I know I will be eager to dig in to more of his career. As the stars review shows its an amazing book.
