It's true.
From an article in the Guardian...
New light is set to be cast on David Bowie's enigmatic, tight-trousered portrayal of Jareth the Goblin King in Jim Henson's cult children's fantasy film Labyrinth through a graphic novel prequel out later this year.
A deal between the Jim Henson Company and comics publisher Archaia to publish graphic novels based on Henson's creations has already seen adaptations of Fraggle Rock and The Dark Crystal. Now a long-rumoured Labyrinth comic is on the cards, with illustrator Brian Froud, who worked on the original film, to oversee character design and conception.
Released in 1986, Labyrinth told of young girl Sarah's quest to rescue her baby brother Toby from the labyrinth of the Goblin King, after she wishes the goblins will take him away in a fit of anger. Jennifer Connelly played the part of Sarah, with a big-haired Bowie attempting to seduce her into staying with him in the labyrinth as the Goblin King Jareth: "I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave," he says to Sarah.
