[Dwarf Lord]

I don't know if any of you have read the illustrated version of The Hobbit:

I've heard about the illustrated version, but didn't think I would like it. I might consider checking it out at a B&N or something. I haven't heard anything about an illustrated version of LoTR though.

 

[Dwarf Lord]

Thanks for the info GAMIL. you really should check it out it's really great. just flip through it at the bookstore, and i'm sure you'll like the drawings.

Illustrated version of the hobbit? Awesome.
Illustrated version of LOTR? Even better!

So are the illustrations really good or something?

I saw one at the library. It looks like a comic book. Is that the one you're talking about?

 

[Dwarf Lord]

Yeah it's in comic form. The illustrations are very good. You should really check it out.

I checked it out but I've been on vacation then my dad was in the hospital, so I really haven't have much time to look at it yet.

I've seen it but I really don't have any desire to read it, I prefer to make up the illustrations in my head, and I draw a lot so sometimes if I'm in the mood I'll stop while I'm reading and draw what I imagine the scene to look like.

 

[Dwarf Lord]

I know what your talking about glorfindel. I love to draw, but I also love to look at other peoples art. I like to se the way they interperate things. It's a fun book if you like comic books, but alot of people don't , so wadda ya gonna do?

Wow, old thread, but I was just wondering about this myself. I first saw it on the shelves in the comic book store decades ago but resisted getting a copy. I've finally decided to get one on eBay.

We've had a few threads on it. Here's one:

TH as a comic strip

I recently came across a copy of TH in the form of a comic strip from 1990 - and a very good one too. I generally dislike comic strips but this work impresses with the quality of its narrative. It stays very very close to the original text (no Tauriel nor Alfrid at all, if you see my point...)...

Edit: There have been several iterations. Tolkien Gateway has a rundown:

Some panels from one of the "revised and expanded" editions:

Finished reading this and I must say, I didn't care for it. Seemed odd to me to have pictures and yet still have so much narration. Let the pictures do some of the talking, for petesakes. I mean, I might as well just read the book if you're just going to crowd the pages with blurbs.

And what's with the mop top do on Bilbo? The text clearly says hobbits have curly (or "curling" hair). I found it rather as annoying as the muffin tops in the Bakshi movie.
