Labyrinth: Coronation is a 12-issue comic book limited series based on Jim Henson's 1986 fantasy film Labyrinth. Published by Archaia Entertainment, it was written by Simon Spurrier and illustrated by Daniel Bayliss, with cover art by Fiona Staples. The first issue was released in February 2018 and new installments were released on a near-monthly basis until the series' conclusion in March 2019. The series has since been collected in three volumes in trade paperback.
A spin-off of Labyrinth, the comic creates a possible origin story for the film's main antagonist, Jareth, the king of the goblins. The series is set within the timeline of the events of the original film, and is framed as a story told by Jareth to his captive baby Toby during their off-screen time together. Beginning in 18th-century Venice, Jareth's tale follows the quest of a young woman, Maria, to rescue her baby son after the child's father sacrificed him to the ancient ruler of the Labyrinth, the tyrannical Owl King. The story is told through unreliable narration from Jareth and a goblin named Beetleglum.
Labyrinth: Coronation received mostly positive reviews from entertainment critics, who praised its artwork, characters and storytelling; however, some did not like the series' ambiguous ending.
