The Lord of the Rings 1-3

And to go along with the Hobbit, the scanlation of The Lord of the Rings.
These are EARLY scanlations, back from 2004. So don't expect HD quality and the high quality work of scanlations from the last few years :)

And sadly only 3 comics were made, all 3 are in this pack, so it will not help to ask for scanlations of the rest, they do not exist ;)


Long before the first appearance of the hobbit comics there were the Lord of the rings comics. These "The Lord of the Rings" comic albums were drawn based on the Ralph Bakshi movie, as is mentioned inside the Dutch version of the comic albums. It is though vey difficult to find any information on the when and how these comics got published.

The first comics were probably released in Italy in 1979, 1980 and 1981. They were also published at least in Spain, Finland, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden, and most probably in many more places (but never outside Europe). Most of them, even when not in the Italian language, were printed in Italy, and published by a local publisher.

In the United States these comics didn't get published, due to a copyright problem. They actually never got published into English at all.
But still are the only official comics based on The Lord of the Rings that are licensed by Tolkien Enterprises, based in California.

The artist, Luis Bermejo, who drew these comics was of spanish origin.
