| May 28, 2021 at 10:43 | comment | added | Clockwork | @Amarth Superman with a Dr. Fate stylised Winter Bash hat. | |
| May 27, 2021 at 19:52 | comment | added | Amarth | Yep, it's Grinch and Superman wearing silly hats during last Winter Bash. I believe it's Machu Picchu in the background and then further away maybe Las Vegas or one of the gates from Neverending Story. | |

| May 27, 2021 at 16:13 | comment | added | Buzz | @Valorum I actually doubt that those other books had the same cover artist(s). The brushwork is different, and if you compare the depiction of cloth, rocks, and sky, they are quite different from the Return of the King cover art. | |

Add link to the other book covers of the series. Thanks @Valorum for the link

| May 27, 2021 at 8:12 | comment | added | Valorum | @GreenstoneWalker - The first two books (with the same cover artist) do appear to closely match the book contents; media.paruvendu.fr/image/seigneur-anneaux-tomes/WB15/2/8/… | |
| May 27, 2021 at 3:46 | comment | added | Greenstone Walker | They might not have anything to do with the book. Cover art is often chosen without reference to the text of the book. | |
| May 27, 2021 at 3:10 | comment | added | Showsni | Maybe two Nazgul, or possibly the Witch King and the Mouth of Sauron? The horned helmets somewhat match the Nazgul on the cover of this edition of Fellowship, and I found a website (now only available via the Wayback Machine: ifisdead.net/livres/les-illustrateurs-du-seigneur-des-anneaux/… ) where they are identified as red cloaked Nazgul. | |
| May 27, 2021 at 1:42 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | @Max Aragorn in a mask? I don't think so. My guess is they're both nazgul. | |
| May 27, 2021 at 0:05 | comment | added | Max | The cover doesn't make sense, (I would go with green thing is Sauron and caped one is Aragorn) | |
