Ralph Bakshi's 'Lord of the Rings'
Long before Peter Jackson transformed Tolkien’s masterpieces into works of cinematic art, there was a hardcore fanbase that seemed to transcend generations. Since its publication in the 1950s, the late J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy trilogy of Middle Earth, The Lord of the Rings, had been the object of an ever-growing cult following. A perennial favorite of high school and college students including yet undiscovered Ralph Bashki, Rings had been merchandised in poster art and annual calendars, sweatshirts, buttons ("Frodo lives"), and in other related wearable forms. In addition to hardcover and paperback editions of the original texts, numerous critical and cult-oriented ancillary volumes populated the expanded universe. These included histories, guides, and exhaustive interpretations of the trilogy.
