Tolkien's works in popular media include a multitide of illustrations in the style of comics or cartoons. This article lists notable comics based on, or including references to, Middle-earth and/or J.R.R. Tolkien.
Early comics/cartoons
The first known published illustration in the comical vein is a single frame cartoon appearing in the 29 November 1954 edition of Newsweek (following the release of The Fellowship of the Ring). The cartoon portrays the Orcs of Moria as hairy creatures with large heads featuring bird-like beaks. Gandalf wears a robe with what appears to be magical symbols.[1]
