TokyoPop is working to create original stories based on Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Something to note is that Jake Forbes is currently doing the writing for Labyrinth.

Petite Cossette
Are any of these titles “A ” quality? This post was purely to generate discussion among us MangaBlog viewers. I myself wouldn’t mind checking out My-Hime. It seems it has a lot of fans from online forums.
The anime of PETITE COSSETTE is supposed to be intriguing – don’t know if the manga will live up to it.

Anime News Network just wrote it up and has links to their database with descriptions.
So far, a few have caught my eye based on just the ANN encyclopedia info:
Strawberry Marshmellow — (I won’t buy Yosuuba because ADV published it but maybe this if it’s good)
My-Hime
Welcome to the N.H.K. — (the one that most interests me)
Otogi Zoshi
Jack,
Thanks for the link! I hate to say it, but if you didn’t buy Yotsuba, you’re missing out. It’s way funnier than Azumanga Daioh. And it’s easy to pretend ADV isn’t the publisher, as they never even put the book on their website.
