Anyone here have the 2007 Harper Collins Tolkien Calendar with the Alan Lee illustrations? I was curious what the images were. Are they all concept art images from the Film series or is there crossover with Alan's pre-film Lord of the Rings illustrations?

Hi Ferder,
I don't collect mass produced calendars myself, unfortunately, so I haven't personally looked inside one of these. My impression would be that they are all the same images from the illustrated LOTR that Alan Lee did, and not the images from before the movies (there is a 1993 calendar of his that might be interesting if that is more what you are looking for).
Also I assume you meant 2007 but the subject says 2010 calendar.
Hope this helps!

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!
I was just looking at that website. Can't believe I didn't see that some of the titles were "clickable".
Looks like about half-and-half as far as pre-film and post-film. The post-film artwork was actually what I was looking for since I've already got the rest of Alan Lee's artwork from the illustrated books.

Hi Ferder - Thanks to Jeremy who was paying attention, I put those 2007 illos into the entry for that calendar. If you have questions about any other calendars for which the illos are not yet posted, you may contact me via the email link on the website. I always like hearing from fellow fans.
