None of what he says is true. When Eclipse went out of business, I had to start over from scratch. Don’t know what Bill Cunningham is talking about. None of what he says is true.

I also remember being in a B&N one Saturday where I was checking out the graphic novels, and a woman comes up to me asking if I worked in the store. I said no but that I could help, and out of her purse she pulled the Hobbit GN asking me if they ever adapted the 3 LoTRs books into this comics format as her sons loved it and she was so happy they were reading. I told her sadly that this never happened. Oh well. I sublicensed the Hobbit GN for use in the SF book club and we sold it quite nicely while it was available.

The current non-Wenzel cover that looks like its based on the film designs kind of bugs me). Shame Wenzel didn't go on to adapt LORD OF THE RINGS (I think I read somewhere that the Tolkien estate wouldn't license for some weird reason like they thought THE HOBBIT was a kids book for LORD OF THE RINGS was for adults).
