With all the weird retro LotR stuff going around lately,

can we please observe the Ace 1965 covers and how, among other things, a My Little Pony has evidently mated with a bat?

Also, you know, I really actually quite like this one.  Except that it doesn't make sense.  But that's okay.

Hah! My insane interpretation was the the bird with egg was Feanor, crouching protectively over his one egg, his one true creation, his "children" in a way - the Silmarils.

The hopeless looking people on the next page are the 7. If you look at their faces, they are actually just flat with eyes on them. They don't have beaks! Those are fake things they hold up to their face. I think this represents them trying to emulate Feanor and their trying to find and take back the Silmarils.
