Yep. Though to be fair, DC had Howard Chaykin adapt some Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories in the early 1970's. Those are available digitally:
Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser: Cloud of Hate and Other Stories. Chaykin was young and his art wasn't what it would later become.
The painted Hobbit was beautiful. I'm surprised there wasn't a digital release of that one yet.
When you mention The Ring of the Nibelung, I'm guessing you mean the Roy Thomas/Gil Kane adaptation? I enjoyed that one and wish there was a digital version.
Have you seen the
P. Craig Russell version of The Ring? Who'd have thought The Ring of the Nibelung opera cycle would receive
two comic adaptations?
Russell has adapted several operas in the past. His work is spectacular.
