The very first Tolkien calendar. It was an insert into the December 1968 issue of Meretricious, Shangri l'Affaires Christmas Art Supplement 1968. Shangri l'Affaires (aka "Shaggy") was the newsletter of the Los Angeles Science Fiction Society (LASFS.) I was fortunate to collect one in its original fanzine. It was relatively rare until 2013 when several dozen from Ken's files were discovered and sold.
Illustrations by Tim Kirk. According to him, “I was experimenting with combining ink line, pencil (I think) and ink wash."
Rarity: 7. It is estimated that less than 100 were created. Those from the “hoard” were snapped up by collectors. (m)
