Nice. Pekar wrote the stories and Robert Crumb did the artwork

[Kevin]

Hobbits woud definitely draw rings

[Ruprecht]

Absolutely, I have a curiosity with both.

[Professor_Chaos]

Pekar I find hilarious. His deadpan delivery

[Pan]

Reminds me of The Flight of Dragons.

Same American producers (Rankin-Bass), and same animation studio

Makes sense! Flight of Dragons is my all-time favourite.

*The Hobbit * was the first “anime” I remember seeing. There was also a sequel, The Return of The King, which blended elements of TLOTR trilogy and The Hobbit into one television movie.

Gollum

Orcs (they actually used the alternative Goblin)

The Morgul King on his fell mount

I might have to try to watch these, they look great!

The Fight of Dragons is something I watched over and over again as a kid.

That time Tracy Ullman transformed from a pop singer into an actor/comic and host of a musical comedy variety show that included a recurring short animated segment called The Simpsons

[Kevin]

There was also a cinema relesae animated version of LOTR that I remember going to see at the time although they only made one film and didn’t cover the whole story (although Tom Bombadil was in it)

There was an album too by Bo Haannson although I am not sure if the two were related
