Holy shit. Art types; drop what you are doing right NOW. Someone posted all of the Moebius art for Jodorowsky's Dune; someone found one of the actual books they circulated.

@Leucrotta Like, the sci-fi book Dune, with Arrakis and stuff?

@IceWolf Yes. In the 70s, before the David Lynch adaptation (and later SciFi adaptation), Alejandro Jodorowsky was going to produce/direct Dune, and he got through preproduction, recruiting people from Pink Floyd to Salvador Dali to Moebius, Chris Foss and Giger, to Dan O'Bannon, all before the project folded.

A limited number of art books like this were offered to studios as a "pitch," but nobody would back the project and the books disappeared. So this is something I never expected to see.
