Luis Bermejo's Lord Of The Rings: In The Mines Of Moria



Welcome back to part 2 of Luis Bermejo's magnificent ( and long overdue for a glossy English language reprint ) adaptation of El Senor De Los Anillos, which is even more gorgeous than part 1.
Luis, it turns out, was Warren's third most prolific Spanish artist ( after Jose Ortiz and Esteban Maroto ) and give me half a chance and I'll always post more of his wonderful work on Bill DuBay's The Rook.
As there are no credits, don't know if Luis did the colouring as well, but it too is great, looking like the greatest children's fairy tale you've ever seen.
Meanwhile, Frodo has woken up just in time for Elrond to bring together The Fellowship Of The Ring...

Luis Bermejo's Lord Of The Rings



Here's something I didn't even know existed until recently, but as soon as I found out about, made it a mission to find scans of. This is Luis Bermejo, who was part of the Spanish invasion that took over Warren in the Bronze Age, and comes from about 1979.
It's heavily based on Ralph Bakshi's animated Rings movie in terms of character design, so I assume it was an official tie-in alongside the fotonovel you could also get at the time. Except you couldn't get this.
It ran for three books, and was originally printed in German, then distributed to Italy, Spain and The Netherlands.
It's never been released in England or America though, so may be as new to everybody else as it is to me, ( except Philbo of course who has everything ) and I don't really know much more about it than that. It is beautiful tho'. Here's the first book.
