For concept art, Jodorowsky wooed Chris Foss, H.R. His Dune project turned into a megalomaniacal endeavour and would star Orson Welles, Salvador Dali, Mick Jagger, his own son as Paul Atreides and a soundtrack by Pink Floyd. After directing a couple of surrealist, avant-garde films, such as The Holy Mountain (1973), he got it into his mind to adapt Frank Herbert’s Dune (1965) for the big screen. The driving force behind this was the charismatic but loony Chilean-French director Alejandro Jodorowsky.
There is a story surrounding this novel, a history of creators and influences, that I find fascinating.
It is not well known in the US, but a work of legendary status in the French-Belgian comic tradition. The Incal is a graphic novel that you can find on many top lists of greatest graphic novels ever written, and not rarely occupying a top spot.
