Great find, I had never seen this before!

I wish I’d read Dune recently, but it’s been some years, and everything Dune-related sort of blends together in my mind in to an amorphous fog. That’s based on reading books 1-4, I think. They weren’t hard to read for me, but they contained so many ideas and content that I feel I’d almost need an academic course to put everything in perspective and examine the various themes properly.

Absolutely, I reread Dune every few years and Frank Herberts´s style and ideas impress me every time again.

I was never really interested in SW but I have been watching ST from an early age. ST ist the perfect stuff to run when I just want to chill, it almost became a kind of screensaver for me.

I really like the Pratt and Moebius panels! Is the Pratt panel from Corto Maltese? I agree, don´t think there is the one Arzach, the guy seems to exist in a lot of timelines/universes. As always reading your commentary on the images was a pleasure.

I´m sorry to hear that and hope he will pay on time. Maybe he has mental issues that keep him from doing it?

I enjoyed reading it, appreciated the weird humor and the ugliness.

Did you just imply the existence of … thinking machines?!?!

Haha, that was a bit of a wacky post above.

I liked it!

Yesterday I finished off a huge job on Calvin’s apartment

I am happy you made it on time, well done!

treated myself to some of his fine booze Oh, my head…

lol

Anyway, yeah, I think you have the spirit of scanlation. Other definitions you’ll find online. It’s a bit of a touchy subject, as we don’t want to take away proper royalties to the creators, you know? Part of why we say ‘extracts are fine, but no pirated links!’ in the sidebar.

Im am undecided in the matter, I want artists to get every penny they deserve for their work. On the other hand, I think most people who pirate graphic novels do it because otherwise they simply could not afford reading them. At the same time people who can afford buying graphic novels will often pirate and then buy the stuff they like, so pirating can even increase sales.

Anyway, I’m not sure if I’m fully “back” yet, but we’ll see.

No pressure mate, take your time.

I really appreciate your focus on Jodo’s Dune series lately

Thank you, happy that you like it!

and in any case, there’s a HUGE archive of posts here for anyone wanting more EGN+ content! :D

Exactly! Just think of our first few months streak for example. I think I have to go back sometime and look at all those cool posts! :D

Das erste Buch ist ausreichend, mehr geht immer wenn du dann möchtest :)

Oh, sehr interessant! Das ist sogar noch eine andere Version des Bildes, der Blickwinkel ist ca. 45° nach vorne gedreht. Das Bild aus dem Script ist hingegen eine Seitenansicht aus dem 90° Winkel. Beim Betrachten wird mir mal wieder klar wie virtuos Giger organische und technische Strukturen verschmelzen lässt!

Great to have you back!

I also never heard the term scanlation before, so here is what I could find out just now. Scanlation is well known in the manga community, meaning fans making translations using a scanner and the results getting distributed digitally, usually with permission of the artist. However, there seems to have developed a practice of not just translating but also modifying the content to a degree, just look at page 2 of the third link you posted: https://web.yongsai.net/comics/gaston-lagaffe/gaffes-and-gadgets/2

Ja, genau diese Ausgabe! Bis auf den ersten Teil, den ich leider mal jemand geliehen habe, ist sie vollständig :) Falls du Dune bisher nicht auf englisch gelesen hast, ich empfehle es dir, Herbert schreibt richtig gut und einiges davon ist bei der Übersetzung verloren gegangen.

Yeah! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harkonnen_Chair

I have the same edition!

Maybe he has relatives you could call, or maybe some of our users live near your place and might help? Otherwise, think about what is the most important and what you can realistically get done in time, focus on that and ignore the rest for now. Best wishes to both of you!

Shit, I am very sorry to hear that! How is Calvin now that he´s back at home? How are you doing yourself? Write me a private message anytime but first, take all the time you need to take good care of both of you.

Checking on EGN+ daily is part of my routine anyway, so moderation is ensured and I will keep going with the Dune posts so it wont get too boring here.

I’m truly, totally honored that you agreed to help with this sub-lemmy. You are like the wind in my sails, even if that’s a cheesy analogy, lol.

Oh stop it, I´m so embarrassed now giggles like a little girl.

Also, I thought I’d found something insightful below (the idea that possibly they were by Jodo himself), but it appears… not?

Good work, Detective Enzyme! Downplay your finding all you want, it´s in fact the best clue we have for now. I will post it here to save people who are interested a click:

No artist is credited but the naive style rules out both Moebius and HR Giger (who arrived late to the project in any case). Best bet is either Jodorowsky himself—in 1967 he was writing and illustrating a comic strip, Fabulas Panicas—or Jodorowsky’s colleague from the Panic Movement days, Roland Topor. In the early 70s Topor was working with René Laloux on the animated SF film Fantastic Planet.

I like how the artists works with black and white surfaces and I really dig the Brazil (Terry Gilliam, 1985) vibes, on the other hand I don´t appreciate the meta level introduced by the letter, it´s kills the immersion imo.

Yes! Magically weird and probably closer to The Incal than to Lynch´s and even Herbert´s Dude if you ask me.

Jodo really tried to get only the best of the best. I mean, Giger, Foss AND Moebius? Then he hired Pink Floyd for the soundtrack and Salvador Dali ,who asked for 100.000 $ per hour, to play the Emperor. I still can´t decide if Jodo was being more ingenious or more insane :D Well, ingenuity and insanity are known to often overlap a bit …

Orange Catholic Bible: Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.

Leto: Never! But I can use their heads to cruise around like a boss!

is it Moeby, or other artist?

Looking at the style, I´m sure that design is by Chriss Foss, who also did all those impressive starships for the project. As we know the designs for Dune were done by Foss, Giger and Giraud. However, I noticed a forth (less professional looking) style that does not really fit any of the three and I wonder who made them.
