 12-30-03: Witch King and Gandalf's Staff
The Witch King does confront Gandalf at the gate of Minas Tirith, and the Nazgul retreats (granted that was partly because Rohan had arrived but also because Gandalf wasn't about to let him into the city).

 Diamond Picks Up The Witch King For April 2003
An original tale of fantasy with a difference, WITCH KING explores new aspects of the genre by telling a story through the eyes of the antagonist; a young arch-mage, Gavriel, who has become twisted and 'evil' by his ongoing search for ever-more powerful necromantic magic.
International distribution of WITCH KING will be through Diamond Comic Distributors with issue #1 to list in the February 2003 edition of PREVIEWS, with an in-store date set for April 2003.
Fantasy themes in art and literature have broad appeal, yet WITCH KING separates itself from the standards by including horror elements and decidedly darker characters and themes, but that's not all: "Together we've tried hard to avoid the normal formative influences that make up a genre fantasy world." Read explains.

Most of the review isn't so much about the movie (I've given far more comment about the movie itself here than I gave in that review) as it is a response to this review from The Buffalo News that was linked off the front page at TORn the other day.
But now it's time to talk about the Helmet of the Morgul King.
When I first constructed my helmet, I was working primarily from the image on the trading card set's Witch-King card and a few photos of the display in England (I forget which city and theater, and I'm too lazy to go hunting for it right now).
