Throughout my childhood, I watched my dad, illustrator David T. Wenzel, sit day after day at his drawing table, turning the scribbled visions of Middle-earth in his sketchbook into a stunningly intricate graphic novel. Watching him taught me what it meant to be an illustrator- to lose yourself in a project and bring a world to life.

Like most artists looking back on their work, my dad carried a list of things he wished he could expand on or approach differently. At long last, he’s returned to The Hobbit graphic novel to infuse it with a bit of new magic. Today, the result of that work- an extended edition- arrives on bookshelves.

This book is beautiful! As a son, I couldn’t be prouder. As an illustrator, I’m in awe. I hope you’ll check it out and spend some time in this extraordinary vision of Middle-earth that shaped so much of my childhood.

The honey badger or ratel, is found across Africa and parts of Southwest Asia, where it survives on a varied diet that includes small mammals, reptiles, and of course, honey. Its durable, rubbery skin, combined with a remarkable immunity to toxins, allows it to navigate dangers other predators avoid.

Side-note: pretty psyched to discover the bounty of honey badger inspired music out there. Well played 🌎 .

Its diet includes nectar, fruits, insects, and occasional seeds, often feeding in the treetops where flowering plants are abundant.
