Brian Froud and Terry Jones illustrations of the goblins of the movie Labyrinth. Includes the names and story of each goblin. Details Brian Froud & Terry Jones Henry Holt & Company 1986 A huge heavy book, full of conceptual designs of about 100 different goblins (some from the movie, the others in hiding in the Labyrinth) by Brian Froud, all faithful reproductions of his ink on parchment original drawings, with Monty style narrative curtesy of Terry Jones. There's also a generous amount of full colour prints of the Wiseman, Sir Didymus, Toby and a brown-haired girl who was the predecessor of our Sarah. Shame about there being no pics of Jareth, as he himself was originally conceptualised as a muppet (cue thoughts of Sarah dancing with a Big Bird equivalent). If you love Brian Froud's Fantasy art and love Labyrinth, you will need to have this book.
This volume serves as a comprehensive catalog and bestiary of the creature designs created for the 1986 film Labyrinth. Brian Froud, the conceptual designer for the film, and Terry Jones, who provided the accompanying narrative, document the visual development of the film's inhabitants. The book utilizes a combination of detailed ink-on-parchment illustrations and humorous, Monty Python-esque prose to expand upon the lore of the Labyrinth's hidden denizens.
