This copy is from the direct market edition. CGC doesn't recognize the direct market and newsstand printings as distinct entities, although I do. I also own book #3717435001, a 9.8 copy of this book in newsstand.

Cover by David Petersen.
ComicsPRO is the trade organization for direct-market comic retailers. They have an annual retailer meeting / trade show that has become a traditional source of quite a few exclusive cover variants, as the publishers attempt to show some support for the retail side of the industry.
I love this cover, with the series' iconic barn owl.

Cover by Bill Sienkiewicz.
This book was offered as a 1:50 retailer incentive. That ratio is no big deal for books over in DC or Marvel, but here, it resulted in a starkly limited distribution. Comichron reports right around 18.5k orders for Labyrinth: Coronation #1. That puts an upper limit on distribution of this book around 350, but I doubt those orders were evenly distributed; a great many stores were unlikely to buy into 50 copies of any Boom book. I suspect real-world distribution of this variant was closer to the 200-250 range.
Personally, I feel it's a pretty neat cover from an artistic point of view, but I also feel it's one of the least subjectively Labyrinth-y of the Coronation 1 covers.

Although Boom! never announced print runs for these books, this Baltimore Comic-Con exclusive is considerably more difficult to find than the SDCC variant of the same issue.

CGC describes this as the "Convention Edition", but more precisely, this was the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. The cover features a punch-out die-cut masquerade mask. Although I doubt very many were ever punched out...

Cover by Joëlle Jones. This "coloring book" variant cover is one of my personal favorites of all of Boom!'s Labyrinth books. It's a shame that it's one of the rarest of the 30th Anniversary Special variants because, let's be honest, this really would make a fantastic coloring book page.

This was actually a 1:10 retailer exclusive. Comichron reports a bit under 10k orders for the 30th Anniversary Special in general, so my best guess is probably around 750-800 copies of this variant were distributed.

This is one of the weirdest things I've ever had slabbed. Tokyopop published manga-style, graphic-novel format continuations to the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth franchises. They also printed 16-page mini-comic flipbooks as previews / advertisements for those properties. Read from one side, the books preview Legends of the Dark Crystal; from the other, Return to Labyrinth.
This flipbook was a pack-in with the three-film DVD box set of Dark Crystal / Labyrinth / Mirrormask. Its Dark Crystal side is styled is Legends of the Dark Crystal: The Garthim Wars and its Labyrinth side previews volume 2 of the corresponding manga.
There also exists another one of these flipbooks, with a more ornate cover design, which I believe previews volume 1 of Return to Labyrinth. I know it was a DVD pack-in, but I don't know what DVD or DVD set (and apparently, neither does Tokypop...). I know a copy passed through Lone Star Comics at some point, so you can find cover images online. If you happen to read this, and have one, I'm really looking to pick up a copy.
