This is a comic inspired by an extract from the final part of The Return of the King! Sam sees what I believe is the star of EΓ€rendil, giving him hope in the most difficult part of their journey.
I love this part of the story and Tolkienβs writing is really beautiful and hopeful even in the darkest moments of Lord of the Rings.
Also⦠I was reading The Children of Húrin while drawing this and interestingly Túrin also sees a star before the battle against the dragon. I wonder if this has any significance (although these stories are very different) or if it was just a device that Tolkien liked?
(I realise that Frodo and Sam would be wearing different clothes at this point in the story but I just like their movie outfits a lot.)
