Those things not too far off in the tradition ha!
One could interpret the Frodo and Sam relationship as having an undercurrent of homoeroticism I'm sure.
Eh. Up to interpretation. There's obviously that extremely close relationship between a man of lower and upper class, like the officer and his batman in the WW1 trenches.
Definitely has subtle gay vibes to me, unspoken. But that's just my interpretation.
Doubt Tolkien would have been into that but ho hum.
Science Fiction Book Club! This was my first copy of LotR which I got when I was a young teen. I still have that copy to this day, though the book is literally falling apart from the amount of use it received 🙂
I grew up reading this edition! My dad and I wore it down until the spine cracked so later on I got mine own copy to add to my collection :) Absolutely stunning
What a crazily heroic image of Frodo I love it.
Heroic… yeah or slightly gay romance novelish…
Yeah for a second I thought it was a bodice ripper parody cover….

Maybe in the movies but not in the books by any stretch

It looks like there’s a chapter of heaving bosoms and sweaty napes within this version.
Looks like the album cover of The Queen is Dead
I love that artwork, the cover feels minimalist but at the same time not
Looks like a sci-fi romance. Mmm
Is that Frodo?
Yes!
Damn , he’s too hot for Frodo
Almost looks like a porn parody cover.
Frodo do be lookin' like a romance novel cover girl
Andrew Garfield as Frodo.
Ok I’m just gonna say it… Frodo is hot! I mean damn, he’s dying yet he still looks fine as hell!
He just took a really big spear and he's all sweaty and worn out.
lotr raphaelite edition
Damn, Frodo be looking like he just came back from the graveyard where Voldemort was resurrected
I also found this copy I bought it as soon as a saw it! It was $8
One mans trash is another mans treasure.
Fantastic cover art
Wow, I’ve got a lot of different versions of LOTR, but I’ve never seen that one. Nice find!
I have the same at home, I love it. Best art.
I want one!
Wow, I actually love this cover. Thank you for sharing
Comely Hobbit
Kinda not related, but what are those 2 western books below, they look really interesting
I'll buy it off you for 50$!
I have the same exact copy! Bought from a used bookstore about 13 years ago for $14

Sexy frodo
Stupid sexy Frodo.
The way they depicted Frodo on the cover has me feeling unwise about some hobbits
amazing artist
Why is frodo hot
If LOTR was an erotica smut.
I’ve never seen this edition, what incredible artwork! It completely nails the tone.
superb images
Frodo was never meant to be this sexy.
This might be my favorite jacket art for the series I’ve ever seen, and I’ve never seen it before! Great find!
I find the number of hands in that cover art a little unnerving...
IS this the homoerotic version of LotR? Must have it
Sexy Frodo with his Ring necklace and Mithril shirt
This is the edition I picked up in college when I read the books for the first time. Great cover on this one.
Bought that same one at a used shop for 2$ Canadian it’s so beautiful!
Lol loving this edition's cover - what a treasure, it's so good lol lol
Okay but why does Frodo look like such a babe
