Michiel from DeHobbit.net A new “Fellowstrip” comic has been posted on my website DeHobbit.net. Since the last two weeks we are running a Lord of the Rings based comic series made by our staffer and cartoonist Philippe Collin. The comic is called “The Fellowstrip” and new installments are published every Sunday. People on the TORn message board seem to like them. I’ve added a translator to the website so international reader can now better enjoy it. The comic itself is already written in English so LOTR fans worldwide can enjoy it. The direct link to this weeks Fellowstrip is here.

The security is so tight.” Continue reading “PJ Talks Hobbit, McKellen & More!”
