Summary
Doomed to Die: An Inky Parody of Tolkien’s World
J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings meets Edward Gorey’s The Gashlycrumb Tinies in this darkly satirical illustrated parody of the Tolkien universe:
‘A is for Arwen broken by sorrows; B is for Boromir punctured by arrows. C is for Celebrimbor hung out to dry; D is for Denethor…’
‘Stories – frankly, human stories are always about one thing – death. The inevitability of death.’
