In 1988, the Folio Junior collection for kids published "The Lord of the Rings" divided into six parts. Each of the traditional three volume was itself split into two.
And they are really funny. Christian Broutin had an interesting... perception of Middle-Earth.
I don't have high quality pictures of the first one (The Fellowship of the Ring, part 1) but you can see that it shows Gandalf escaping Isengard thanks to the eagle... With at the bottom what can be as much Gollum as the Watcher in the Water or some goblin. It is... hard to tell. "The Fellowship of the Ring part 2" meanwhile made the interesting choice to focus on the often-forgotten crebain.
Two Towers is divided between, on one side what I think is a depiction of Isengard but with the guy from the poster of Bakshi's Wizards that strolled in (plus random creepy eyes underneath) ; and on the other the cutest Shelob you'll ever see.
Finally you have The Return of the King, and while part 2 is a fairly traditional fall of Barad-dÃģr scene, the part 1 is the best of them all... The Witch-King riding a giant fearthless chicken.
