Oh ok, I totally missed that then..
But it still illustrates the story beautifully

Soviet illustrations for the Hobbit:

That's very interesting! The original Finnish version (there's a newer, way soulless translation) was illustrated by Tove Jansson, whose style I've always liked. Some examples:

[Tumetsu]

Yeah, Tove's illustrations of Moomins and Hobbit are awesome. Hmm, by original translation, do you mean "Lohikäärmevuori"? I once found that and didn't really like that except illustrations.  Too bad that my copy of Hobbit doesn't have Tove's illustrations even though one was released in 2000s.

[powly]

Lohikäärmevuori indeed. I find the way how especially the names are translated a lot more fun and imaginative and it uses some older phrases that I think give it a great vibe. I've have a few discussions about it, though, and most people seem to prefer the newer translation

This thread is too big to go through and see if Harry Clarke has been represented. So I'll just give him some more short outs just in case.

I love this style.

I really like Shmorky's comics, the style always struck me as feminine which confuses me because I think it's a guy. I've never read anything that supports the idea of gender or sexual preference having an obvious effect on art styles, but it's something I've always noticed.
