] In October 2007, Tokyopop released the second volume, "Return to Labyrinth 2". In an afterword, editor Tim Beedle announced that the series, originally planned as a trilogy, was being extended to include a fourth volume.

ources and inspirations

*The filmmakers acknowledged several influences, including "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", the works of Maurice Sendak (the plot mirrors that of his story "Outside Over There"), and M. C. Escher.
*Many of the settings and creatures in the film were based on designs by Brian Froud, who had previously collaborated with Henson on "The Dark Crystal". Froud and screenwriter Terry Jones later collaborated on the book "The Goblins of Labyrinth" which depicted some of the incidental creatures from the film.
*Some of the puzzles and riddles are inspired by the logician Raymond Smullyan.
*Some of the film's visuals including set pieces were inspired by M.C. Escher artworks. A poster of Escher's "Relativity" can be seen in Sarah's room.
*As described in interviews, the setting and design of the character of Jareth, as well as the many creatures featured in the film are thought to be somewhat influenced by the vivid nightmares David Bowie had as a child.
