Synopsis

Brand-new revised and expanded hardback edition of this best-selling graphic novel based on the enchanting prelude to The Lord of the Rings.

Fully painted in colour, it contains a carefully abridged version of Tolkien’s tale of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who is whisked off by the wizard Gandalf on an adventure to recover stolen treasure.

First published in 1990, David Wenzel’s comic book adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit was an immediate success and has become one of the best-loved graphic novels of the last 25 years.

The Hobbit is the story of Bilbo Baggins, a quiet and contented hobbit whose life is turned upside down when he joins the wizard Gandalf and thirteen dwarves on their quest to reclaim their stolen treasure. It is a journey fraught with danger – and in the end it is Bilbo alone who must face the guardian of this treasure, the most-dreaded dragon, Smaug.

Illustrated and hand painted in full colour throughout, and accompanied by the carefully abridged text of the original novel, this handsome authorised edition will introduce new generations to a magical masterpiece – and be treasured by Hobbit fans of all ages, everywhere.

This new edition includes exclusive extra content from David Wenzel revisiting the process of creating the original edition of the graphic novel and the story of its evolution to this revised and expanded version.
