Ilustrated Hobbit - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It would seem to me that a publisher calling a new adaptation a classic (of a classic) is little more than a cheap marketing scheme to get people to buy the new adaptation. Although in this case, The Hobbit has been released as an illustrated version (where only some scenes had an accompanying illustration on the next page) for some while, if not to the extent of comic book style (if I interpreted Ithaelial's statements correctly, I haven't seen this adaptation yet) until recently.
